First update! Flight went really well, Etihad were great, I'd definitely recommend them. We were collected in
Kochi airport by our driver and we both traveled the one and a half hour journey with our jaws on the seat. They drive like maniacs over here! Bikes, motorbikes, tuk-tuks, cars, trucks, buses, goats, cows and people, so many people all over the place. There seem to be no rules on the road at all. We were wrecked by the time we got to our accommodation in Kochi, Saj Homestay. It was simple but clean accommodation with a balcony and a fan. It was pitch black when we got there and we hadn't seen another white person since we left the airport. We went for a quick walk and ate in the first place we found. Vegetable curry and naan bread, wasn't great but that was the only meal we've had since getting here that wasn't great. The food has been unreal. Curry for breakfast (boiled egg curry with noodles!), lunch and dinner.We spent two nights in Kochi and saw everything there was to see. The fishing nets were good to see and the sunset too. We went to Jew Town on the outskirts too, that was interesting to see.

Sounds gift there, the curry for brekker is a great shout, probably a step up from the orient express anyway. Lovin the use of rovers branded gear, the team really have gone global. We're just back from Chamonix there and there is a load of new rovers fans parading around the foothills of Mont Blanc.

Ah yeah sure I'm telling all the kids here that they'll be in the Champions League next year.
