Well I've made it to the place I most wanted to visit... here I am and it's been raining HARD most of the day but still took some great photos of the fishing nets, the Dutch/Portuguese/British/Hindu palace, the Synagogue and Jewish cemetery, and Kathakali ritual dancing (Yes, I've had a busy afternoon and evening) BUT this internet place is going to close in 5 minutes so no time to upload any pictures or write much at all. Bus journey was OK. Didn't sleep a wink and we crossed the Western/southern ghats at breakneck speed around hairpin bends. Part of me was glad it was dark and another part was sad i missed the obviously amazing views. Chatted to some student Doctors when we had a food break and I was reassured to know that about a quarter of the bus had life saving techniques. Here is amazing, the place just oozes history. Loads of religions and those of no faith all just getting on with their lives with minimal bother.
Yesterday evening after I left the internet cafe i ended up in this most amazing department store in Mysore. I bought 2 skirts, (worthy Monsoon quality) under a fiver each! Bloody hell, I was on cloud nine plus a top for about 50p and everything fits me perfectly. Amazing shopping here in India! I've just collected so much stuff I'm going to have to do some more posting. Shit, I'm in the mood to write and I'm being kicked off and not a bar in sight. Yes, Cochin is a dry town. Disaster. Oh, yeah one last thing bought my arline ticket on line here tonight. About 40 quid for a one way 2 hour journey back to Mumbai.
