What Ashwin caught in the Chinese Net
After Jaipur we headed south for warmer weather in the state of Kerala, which is to the west of Tamil Nadu and borders the Indian Ocean. We first flew to Cochin, where we spent a couple of days touring the historic old port of Fort Cochin. It was primarily a spice trading and fishing port and has been occupied by the Portuguese, the Dutch and the English. Vasco de Gama lived there until his death in 1524. There are numerous historic churches and one synagogue - one of the oldest in India, with a small but still active congregation. We enjoyed strolling through the quaint streets, trying out the "chinese" fishing nets, and shopping for spices.
