First night in Kerala

We arrive in fort (British) kochin last night. We had a nice flight as we got upgraded seats when we complained we weren't sat next to each other!

We were all nervous about no A/C in the rooms however compared to Delhi it is so cold here. We were a bit sticky last night but perfectly comfortable. The windows in the room are left open and have bars and Mosquito nets and is really nice a you can hear the rain.

It rained all night though apparently stops during the day which it has done now! My room is downstairs and the girls upstairs. The girls have blocked up there vents as they think they will fid a lizard on their face! It's a step down from serene Delhi but I quite like it.

Breakfast was an array of banana, papaya, mango, plantain, pancake, toast, chicco fruit etc etc. it is sooooo peaceful and developed here compared to Delhi! People drive in the lines on the road and there are proper roads!

We are near restaurants and cafes and right near the beach though not quite sun bathing weather. The owner is booking us a rickshaw to bring us to the hospital tomorrow morning.

We went for a masala chai earlier in a really cool cafe and went for dinner and had all things English. Sarah had a prawn cocktail and steak and Iesha and I had Indian fish and chips! Was a nice break from Indian and the bill came to about £15.

The photos aren't in order as I can do it on my phone. Also notice the girls have taped up the holes in the wall to outside!
