Tuesday 28 April 2015
Highlights: Tripunithura Hill Palace, boat ride down the backwaters of Kumarakom, photos with the locals.
I tried some toast this morning, hopefully this means I’m getting better but I still can barely eat. I’ve missed several of the included breakfasts so far and my energy levels aren’t great but hopefully that is changing.
Monday 27 April 2015
Highlights: Exploring Kochi, Kathakali performance.
High humidity (90+) and not eating for 30+ hours does not make for a lot of energy but I still managed to undertake all the included activities for today.
Sunday 26 April 2015
Highlights: Kochi Beach with locals showing off!
Today was the start of the second part of the Highlights of India tour which is also offered separately as South India – Kerala Dreaming 7 day tour. To get there this meant being in the hotel lobby at 3.15 am for the trip to the airport.
Saturday 25 April 2015
Highlights: Final group dinner.
With sadness we left Sawarda around 8.30 am for the long trip back to Delhi. My stomachs was now enough of a problem to qualify as ‘Delhi Belly’ but on the mild side. Only having a very small breakfast (some corn flakes) and no lunch at all combined with Imodium got me to Delhi just in time when we arrived at 4 pm.
Friday 24 April 2015
Highlights: Playing cricket with the locals, tractor ride, drinking under the stars.
A late start today leaving our hotel at 10.30 am ulitising the hotel facilities one last time before heading to the rural village of Sawarda. The drive gave me a chance to see more of the countryside as we got deeper into rural communities.
