Hi fans,
We've had a wonderful two days in Cochin since the last update, the first of which consisted mainly of a visit to the friendly 'Dr. Roy', who was able to prescribe something (not 100% sure what...) which has resulted in a speedy recovery for us both.
Fort Cochin is an absolutely beautiful place; certainly a refreshing change of pace compared to Mumbai! The streets are a lot calmer and the buildings themselves are very different - there's a strong Portuguese influence here. We started off the day with a nice swim in a local hotel, followed by a cookery class by the lovely Leena. Although, to be honest, we thought we knew everything there was to know about Indian cookery, she certainly had a few tricks that we hadn't seen - the food that she cooked was absolutely delicious. She taught us six new Keralan recipes in all, which we're sure you're looking forward to us sharing with you when we return.
We spent the rest of the afternoon being shown around Fort Cochin by an autorickshaw driver called Shaki who was great and took to all the main sights, and quite a few shops too... Luke spent a great deal of the afternoon attempting to prevent Sarah from buying everything under the sun. If you think her TopShop habit is bad, you should see her in a spice bazaar...

I think Luke should let Sarah buy what she wants, when she starts her job she won't have time to go to TopShop or to any other shops either.
