Kochi was wonderful this first day - (6 March 2015) - 12:30 got off the ship, tour of town at the Fort Kochi marina walk, the church with Vasco de Gama burial site, spice shops, Jewish synogoge, amazing elephant celebration and festival with about 14 elephants in regalia, a lovely Ginger cafe supper of perfect rice, uppadam, chapati, and prawn / ginger curry overlooking the bay and back at the Explorer.

On to Kumily and tea / spice plantations and a evening boat trip on the wildlife Periyar lake.
