After getting to our homestay, which is lovely and simple, we napped for a few hours then went to explore Fort Kochi, while trying to get out cash, which is proving challenging for us MastercardMeer informatie
Reiziger Looks like you guys are settling into travelling life already!! Well done for surviving your first auto Rick-shaw ride! 😅
Reiziger Yeah it's definitely suiting us so far 😋. Haha thanks, there was a moment right after I stopped filming in the rickshaw that we almost got run off the road by a bus in front of us another rickshaw on the side and multiple school children on bikes to the side of the bus. The driver didn't even bat an eyelid and didn't slow down 😵💫
Glad you managed to find something to eat. I expect this will be the highlight of your trip!! [Mrs R E Graham]

We booked to go on a day hike through the trees plantations in Munnar that cover vast swaths of the area. We learnt a lot about the trees spaces and plants in the area from our guide.

Reiziger Looks stunning! 🌄 aww, sorry about your feet, sounds painful! What happened to your ankle? 😯
Reiziger I actually don't know what caused it. Two weeks before we left it started hurting like I'd sprained it, I did what I could but the swelling hadn't left by the time we left. I've been doing daily strengthening exercises though and after yesterday's test I hope it'll just get stronger and stronger now. And the swelling is going down slowly slowly.
Reiziger Aw that's a shame to happen right before your trip. I'm glad it's getting better tho! Loving your posts btw 🥰

After our exhausting day yesterday we took it easier today, just did some laundry, drank too much chai masala tea and got buzzed, and visited the local rose gardens. I swear all the plants in thisMeer informatie
Reiziger It was even worse the next night, it started at 5am and played rave like music all morning non stop. We were told it was for a marathon happening that day. But starting at 5am! Insane

Tonight Kyri has managed to get an almost perfect riffle shuffle 🤩 If we were at home we’d definitely not have spent the last hour practising. I still suck.
