We had a lovely time in Cochin. Despite us being 2hrs later than planned due to the lenght of time it took immigration to clear the cruise ship and allow passengers off. The main part we wanted to see was the Kathakali Show, so our guide (who was still waiting for us) gave us a quicker over view tour, still visiting a few places and explaining a lot to us, he also helped us to find a hotel where we could get wifi to check our messages. The pre-show was more impressive than the show, so i highly recommend getting there to watch them put their make up on, it is an incredible skill and the show was interesting. Definately I high-light of our holiday in Asia.

Response from Host, Feb 2024
