Once bitten.......

After 3 hours of painstakingly downloading photos there was a power cut, now several hours later I'm trying again!!!

Hallelujah, I think it's worked!! If we get lucky again pictures of India may follow.

Just enjoyed a few days relaxing at Fort Kochi, and on the backwaters. Tomorrow we are off on the ferry and train to Alleppey further down the Kerala coast.
