Our next stop was Thoothukudi or Tuticorin, the port city. It was an easy 3.5 hour drive along the coast from Rameswaram. Decent road. Miles upon miles of salterns along the way. Never realized that the production of salt was such a big industry here.
We stayed at the Regency Tuticorin Hotel belonging to the GRT chain. We have stayed at GRT hotels before and we knew what to expect. Although rated only 3 stars, it is a clean, comfortable hotel with a decent restaurant. Thoothukudi being a busy port city I would have expected some classy business digs but this was the best in town and it served our purpose well.
It was a good hub to visit Srivaikuntham, Thiruchendur, the historic sites of Panchalankurichchi, Adichanallur and others.
