Staying in Spencer Homestay in Fort Cochin - a great place although I do appear to be sharing my room with a smoking teddybear! Very surreal here - Christmas carols and decorations, Nat King Cole in the restaurants....but fish curry for christmas lunch and it's 30 degrees! Much more laid back than the first bit of my trip - we're even thinking of asking the local kids to give us some cricket coaching in preparation for our match on the 28th.
Spent Xmas day on a canoe and houseboat in the Kerala backwaters (didn't see Doug or Sam/Jennifer)....and then had my evening fish curry in a restaurant boasting a live version of the music I normally experience at the City Tandoori, London Bridge.
On boxing day (today) I met up with Ingo and Sam (Bombay Buccaneers) and Andy (She's a Goa) on an Indian Mobile Phone hunt. I also learn't that Andy's co-driver Espe (his girlfriend) has a few reservations about his choice of team name! We are having a roof top BBQ tonight (fish again!)
On a sadder note I learn't on Xmas day that my dad hasn't taken up Dog-lifting - he just can't use predictive texting!
