Fort Kochi

Bags found and delivered and friends arrived, the official beginning of our year away begins.
Kerala is a fusion of food, laws, religion and with us four travellers, ethnicity's.
Whether your religion includes bowing down to Mohammed, dancing around to Lord Shiva or praying to the man they call Jesus Christ, every religion is respectful to the next. But I would ask one favour, can you stop letting explosions and fire crackers off at 04.30am trying to out do each other with the start of your new religious day.
Lauren (half Mexican, half American), Jesus (full blooded Mexicano man), Allison (born & bred in London but parents hale from Guyana from African and Indian Descent) and I (English but with a weird mix of English, Scot, Jew and Italian) are here drinking our hard sort after alcohol. You have to search high and low to  find alcohol here, apparently its not so hard to find weed as Jesus takes a toke on his pipe.
Our day in Fort Kochi is coming to an end. Tomorrow we head off to Allepey and our houseboat on the backwaters of Kerala. Calmness and serenity awaits.
Lauren & Jesus with mandatory mosquito spray and empty Black label beer.
Some say it's good luck but I think Allison wouldn't agree after the bird had diorreah (excuse if spelt incorrect) on her head.
Allison's fusion of Keralan food.
Mean tree!
