Kerala: Kochi/Cochin

We arrived back home yesterday, after 6 days in Kerala. Unfortunately my brother had to leave the same night again, but my parents are staying one more week.

The first 2 days of our Diwali holiday we spent in Kochi/Cochin, in the old fort. We stayed in The Old Lighthouse Hotel, an old English mansion.
The fort was build by the Dutch and was later taken over by the Portuguese and the Brits.


The first part was named after my home town: Groningen

I like the combination of these signs (the bottom one is a sign from the Kerala board of tourism)


The Chinese fishing nets. Adriaan and the boys had a try and caught 1 catfish.

We went to see a Kathakali dance and saw how the actors apply their make up.
