KOCHI - a place I never had heard about, but happy to have now seen.

The most iconic image of Kochi is most likely the Castle which sits up on highest point in harbor and has sweeping roof structures. I also like the classic red bridge and clock and local artist sculptures. Below are some of my favorites. I had fun exploring town with Sherrie today!

I tried some of their delicious fresh figs from the open markets, which we total appreciated being under cover open roofs. It was another hot one today! They also gave a nice send off at port complete with musicians and waves goodbye!

I got to do 14 dives and 5 snorkel trips over our two weeks at Eco Cove Resort. I feel much more confident and comfortable diving, practice does truly help! Eco has these t-shirts that list all their Resort excursions - we made a nice dent in all of them and it's hard to pick a favorite!

This time the tde ws coming in quickly and alot of the island was already covered by water but that didn't dampen our party! We had a cooler of beer this time too! We also have become feriendly with the 2 families that were there sharing with us.
