I am getting a bit annoyed with WordPress, but trying to be relaxed about it. So…continuing with the Kerala Folklore Museum, I really liked some heads which were painted showing the Theyyam Face Writing. I used some of my birthday money to buy one. On the way back to Fort Kochi we got the normal …

Fort Kochi Day One continued…..
Yet more technical issues which I am not going to let spoil anything or get stressed about. All is good. Our flights are still going ahead and that has been something that has been lingering over our heads. Yesterday I didn’t finish everything that happened. We went to a Jain Temple, a form of Hinduism …
Fort Kochi Day One
Lovely sleep. When we got up we were able to see in the light which was fantastic. Beautiful large koi carp and lots of greenery. We had thought that we would have a lie in but we were up and out early before breakfast. We walked to the nearby Vasco da Gamas, named after a Portuguese …
Kicking Off in Kerala…continued
Having a few technical difficulties with WordPress, which overall is better than having real problems. I last mentioned that the political election fever pitch it raising and even on the waterways boats with flags and loudspeakers went past. This is the last day that they can do it. We later found out when we reached …
Kicking Off in Kerela….
Another lovely sleep! With the pool just next to to our bungalow it was easy to jump in. At 7 in the morning there were no other people in it, so we felt very spoilt. Very tranquil! We were not leaving until 11, so today was very relaxing. A glorious breakfast, which consisted of pretty …
Whispering Pines…
We had a wonderful sleep at Chrissie’s Hotel. At 6 in the morning we were woken by chanting from the nearby yoga room. A thermos flask of hot water had been left outside our room, so we could make coffee. It certainly felt idylic. A quick pack up and breakfast. Fresh sourdough, homemade jams and …
Tiger Tiger Not Burning Bright Part Two
I had a lot of technical issues yesterday, so didn’t go into much detail about what happened. The main thing is that we ended up in a much better situation. So when we left the other place it wasn’t a big argument but there were moments that felt a bit surreal. One of the sons …
Tiger Tiger Not Burning Bright…Part One
As this is fast becoming a homage to all things food in this region of India, I omitted a drink we tried. Param was very clear we should try the famous Madurai drink Jigarthanda, which he will be very pleased to hear that we tried. We tried it in a nearby mall. It really was …
Marvelous Madurai
We have put our trust firmly with Param today. He had organised a tour with a local man called Vijay. We had to meet him at 6 in the morning, which felt inhuman. I had very low expectations but it was a well considered plan. Although Madurai is the city that never sleeps, there are …
Meandering to Madurai
Another day, another adventure. We had to cover quite a bit of distance today, so we were in the car for slots of an hour and a half with long breaks. This country is an assault on all the senses and it feels impossible to keep up with everything! We had a breakfast of red …
