Fort Cochin

We are in Fort Cochin, Kerala State.
Yesterday we went on a bus to the backwaters. We went on a boat. We had a look at how string was made from coconut hair. The boat wasn't powered by an engine, it was powered by an old man with a four metre long stick. The boat wasn't very big, it was only three seats wide and six seats long. We had a lunch stop and the plate was a leaf (banana leaf)
We had Indian food which was quite nice. It was a bit spicy , rice, Dahl, alloochat (potato), curried vegetables and mango and lime pickle which was VERY spicy which is why I didn't have it! We were on a lake around a small island.
When we got back to the home stay, two Indian boys showed me how to play cricket, which is their national sport. I showed them how to play Leggo.
