After yet another sleeper train we find ourself rock up in cochin at 3:30 am with nowhere to stay........... after contemplating sleeping on the street in true homeless style cuddled up with a stray dog our rickshaw driver felt sorry for us and started banging on all the doors until someone agreed to let us kip there! 5 hours later we were up and out! off to find our homestay. A nice little place costing us about 2 pound each in a good location with lots to do.
After a short walk around, we were invited to help pull in fish using those great big chinese fishing nets that line the coast line of cochin. It was so much fun pulling down on the rope to counter weigh the huge nets and after all of our efforts we only court one tiny little fish!!! oh well i dont think we will be changing our careers just yet. It was hot work though i dont know how those men can stand the heat!!
After this we felt the urge for an explore! we sampled everything that cochin had to offer from a great big beautiful church a synagogue and a real indian spice market! it was a great day and i hope to upload the photos in the next week or so.
It has also just started to rain which is like heaven after all the heat!
