Kochi, a short stop on our way to Goa

(Kochi, India, 15-17th of Nov 2016)

It was time to move on to the north towards Goa were we want to spend our final three weeks in India. We did not want to get on a 16-hour train trip so we decided to get on a flight from the city of Kochi to save us a lot of time.

After a three hour train trip (the last one for this trip in India, but we will come back for more.) from Kollam we arrived in the city of Kochi (Cochin) which is one of the larger cities in Kerala.

We spent a lot of time in Kochi walking round looking for ATMs (with cash, but none were found.), sightseeing, or talking to our lovely hosts at our homestay ”Aroma”. We also visited indias largest mall, a deserted place with a amusement park at the top floor.

Our hostess got us tickets to a Kathakali show (in the front row). This was a really nice experience, the artists perform using only miming and ”guttural sounds”. You also get the opportunity to be there before the actual show starts to see the actors put on their makeup, also this was amazing and very colorful.
