Day 13 - 16

Happy first day of the new year!
Sorry it's taken me so long to upload this but since the rest of the trip was just pleasure I think I'm just gonna go ahead and publish it as one post.


Okay so we packed up shipped out to the airport where we flew to Cochin and then drove to our hotel. The hotel was right on the water and very pretty, with tons of activities and a pool that snaked amongst the rooms. The rooms themselves where nice too, each one with personal access to the pool and some cool yet creepy outdoor washrooms. Sadly though we were way too tired that night to enjoy anything.

The next day we had breakfast at the buffet and then amused ourselves with sitting by the pool and trying out the different activities (basket weaving, pottery, spinning rope and palm reading) and even tried to fly a kite (which ended up with it crashing in to Simon's head and snapping in half). For dinner that night we went to the seafood restaurant were my dad assured us it was safe to eat the seafood, he was wrong. The next day I spent most of my time horizontal pondering over a new life lesson: NEVER eat seafood in India.

Finally it was time to end this crazy trip and start the journey home. First we drove back to Cochin (2 hours), then flew to Mumbai (5 hours), then flew to Delhi (3 hours), then waited (5 hours) in Delhi before flying to Germany (9 hours) where the plane was delayed, then flying to Calgary (11 hours) before at last flying home to Vancouver (2 hours). Ok so lets add that up shall we? What is that over 37 hours? Fun.
Anyway we are home now so it's all good now. Yay!
