Whoops!
Many thanks for your comments Anish. I am happy to hold my hand up and admit when I've made a mistake. It just goes to prove that you should check several sources of information and not simply rely on the local tourist handouts. The text and photo has been adjusted accordingly and for anyone else who might be interested, the following web address will take you to the St Thomas's Church site and includes a short video clip: www.indiavideo.org/kerala/worship/church/st-thomas-church-kodungalloor-81.php

No its not
This is not at all the oldest church in India! It seems the writer has very little knowledge of the history. What about the past 1500 history of christians in India ? The oldest Church in India is the St. Thomas Church at Thrissur, palyar built in 1st century AD by St. Thomas himself. for more information pls google up and find the truth, dont mislead the viewers with false informations.

Wonderful. I grew up in Hospet & now I live in the US. Someday I would love to volunteer at the Hampi Children's Trust.

Interesting
Thanks for the post. We're heading to Laos tomorrow and it sounds like the 4 thousand islands are definitely worth a visit. I guess they may have changed a bit by now though. We'll see.

Very interesting! I've been to Goa last year as my fiance is Goan and it was beautiful! We are planning to go there for Christmas this year and I was searching online for some info even though he told me so much already. Very well written, happy you've had a good time! Thank you.

Flea City!
Thanks for your comments Zac. Unfortunately, at the budget end of the scale, such experiences are all too common in India . It's a wonderful country but at times, it can test the good humour of a saint. Flea City it is then! LB

Sounds Lovely
Hi Guys, Good to hear from you ! India sound a fasinating mix of wonder and terror, with a healthy dose of smelly thrown in. Life in Cornwall continues much the same as ever, starting to gear up for Christmas. Will write again soon Love Shelley & Mark

Yuk, Worms?
Have just read your Penang epistle. Sounds like you are having a great time, in spite of illness and worms (yuk!). It was great to read of your exploits while, back here in the UK, it is chilly and threatening to rain (again). Since we last saw you we have had a fantastic trip to Mauritania and Mali, reaching our hoped for destination - Timbuktu - and going to the Festival au Desert - lots of elaborately dressed camels and dashing men - like something out of Lawrence of Arabia. Lots more stories to tell of our trip but that can wait till we see you and catch up with each other. Hope you are both well now. Love from Trisha and Neil xx

Thank You Kali...
Great to hear from you and so glad you liked the article - particularly as it was intended as a tribute to all the hard work you and the other members of HCT have put in over the years. Thanks too for the update on what's happening. I was especially delighted to hear Obla's news, sounds like she has fallen on her feet! Keep up the good work. Love and best wishes to all. Laurie & Viv
