It was a thoroughly enjoyable and an incredible learning experience. Johann, the storyteller, was passionate, authentic (hailing from Fort Kochi) and clearly done a lot of research on this theme.
So all the stories were curated well to match the theme (history of Fort Kochi) and covering a lot of areas - ancient history, medieval history, food, personalities, geography & modern history - lots of new factoids (Portuguese’s words in Malayalam, etymological origin of “kidnap” origin - story to be heard in person, willingdon island origin story and so on).
Highly recommend if u r keen to know the stories behind the sights you see in Fort Kochi.
