OMG! The hunt is on ;)

Alcohol is not served at many restaurants in Kochi which was a problem as we felt like a beer. Unfortunately the only place close by, Seagull, was packed, so we ended up next door at the Fort House Hotel #1 Heritage hotel in Fort Kochi,Luxury hotel near kochi beach, Hotels near Mattancherry...

Neeraj at Payless had provided me with a list of the proposed hotels and I really didn’t want to stay in the middle of Kochi. I wanted us to stay near the water. I found Bloom Boutique www.staybloom.com/hotels/kochi/bloom-boutique-waterfront-fort-kochi and the prices were similar to the one that...

Here’s our sandwiches, served as we were still climbing quite steeply. Quite tasty. Served with a little juice Approaching Kochi Bags are such a lottery. Mine came out quite quickly but bAlt’s was pretty much last. I was told that our driver Sunil would be waiting for us and there he was...

Day 2,Jan 28, Bengaluru-Kochi We both managed to sleep quite well. We were flying IndiGo down to Kochi. Due to the issues they were/are having with the new national rostering regulations, our original 11am flight had been cancelled and been replaced with one at 1pm. This meant we had a lovely...

I'd agree, it would make it more difficult, but what is the reason then? They did walk though pretty regularly. I really just don't get the darkness thing.

Descending into Bengaluru We landed a few minutes early and as they’d connected two air bridges we were off nearly straight Greeting committee We’d completed our e-Visas (handy tip - use Edge in incognito mode) and our e-arrival cards. You don’t get a copy of the e-visa, just an e-mail...

Yeh, yeh, once you fly business you’re ruined. Sure the seat is smaller and more cramped (ok, very cramped) but the service was great and we did not go hungry or thirsty. Anyone else here seen these seats except when turning forward? Plane spotting as we waited to take off and just as we...

Day 1,Jan 27, Brisbane-Sydney-Bengaluru The best laid plans of bPete and bAl… Uber booked for 3:40am to get us to the airport with 30 minutes to spare before bag drop closure. Up at 2:45 and downstairs waiting at 03.30 hoping they would arrive early but they didn’t actually arrive at all. Our...

For the last 15 years of my career I worked closely with IT teams based in Bengaluru/Bangalore. I became friends with many of the team members and we'll be catching up with the best of them all on our last night. Saravana is hosting us at his home. In our conversations he's asked if we have...

Thanks for great report Roo. I’ve already said it but was great to read such an ‘up’ review :)

Haha, we thought that too!

In Thekkady. It looks like a really nice little town. No idea what we’ll do and how it’s celebrated in India.

It's annual new year's trip time. Last year we froze in South Korea. This year we were thinking tropical but Thailand flight and hotel costs nixxed that idea. We've done Port Douglas and Palm Cove too many times so that was also crossed out. How about India? Flights to Begaluru were very...

I think Roo was very circumspect in his description

I’ll check that everything is in order when we go in early May :)

Love to hear the joy in your post Roo!!

We were next door at Nusa Dua Beach Resort and Spa. Blissfully quiet ;)

South Island sandflies. Makes me itch just thinking about them!

@NM was telling me over the weekend that his love of flying began at age 10 with a family flight to the UK on a BOAC VC10
