A really fun day appreciating the cool vibe of Kochi.

Three of us went shopping, first in the touristy district around the Jewish Quarter. Nothing purchased, but went to a great cafe.

We then went (by tuk-tuk – now a preferred mode of travel) to the colonial part of Kochi near the Parade Ground.

Really lovely shops. I bought a painting and a couple of other bits.

The other girls bought things in Anokhi, a shop I had experienced before.

We had lunch in a beautiful garden cafe, behind a colonial building called David Hall. Great food and drinks, live music, peaceful vibe. Sat there for hours.

Back to the hotel in the late afternoon. Left about 5.30 to travel the airport. Long drive. One of the others was flying to Singapore with me, but she was heading straight for Melbourne.

It was Monday morning when I got here. Straight to bed after being on a plane all night.
