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 really enjoyed my first trip to Thailand! On our final morning here we went to try breakfast at this spot, down the road, we had been hearing rave reviews on, King Of Bread . The hype was correct, the breakfast was delicious and they had some unique choices. I had eggs benedict on a croissant, in lieu of the standard english muffin and Bosco had it on Milk Bread, which was equally tasty.

We love having authentic experiences with locals to really get a chance to see how they live and thrive in the Ports we visit. So when I found a cooking class, by a local woman offered in her home, we were excited to book. Um ( our teacher) picked us and brought us back to our hotel along with the family of 4 from Sydney, Australia, that had also signed up for this afternoon class. Um's house, which has a lovely open air kitchen, garden and dining area, was about a 30 minute drive and turned out to be on the beach, right next to the Grandparent Rocks.
