To make a long story short, we almost didn't make it here. While my cousin and I had no problem getting from London to Doha (carrying our luggage on the tube included), we almost missed our flight from Doha to Kochi. The inner shopper in both of us called and not wanting to ignore our inner voice, we followed our........hearts? Unfortunately that call drowned out the other call to our gate so by the time we wandered to where we were supposed to be the only call we could hear is "last call". We were the last ones on the plane but in our defense, people were still boarding as we ascended the stairs so really we weren't that late.
For the past few days we've been trying to catch up on sleep (10 1/2 hour time difference) and eating...and eating and eating and eating. Did I mention eating. Because we ate. A lot. Every meal has been a buffet at this amazing 5 star restaurant and everything seems like a work of art.
Yesterday we did the tourist thing and went to St. Francis church, the Chinese fishing nets, the Dutch palace, and Jewtown. Of course there was a little shopping along the way. My cousin had itchy hands so she was the first to buy...but that's no surprise.
Today we leave for the town we'll be living in for the next 4 months. I can't wait to meet the kids! Time to pack up and devour one more meal.
