We arrived in Cochin by air and walked out of the airport into the welcoming arms of Jenny with whom we were staying and a blast of hot humid air which hit us like a brick wall.    

Once at Le Royale we were garlanded with jasmine and hibiscus and given a coconut drink served in the nut.

Jenny and Jose are attentive hosts serve excellent meals and also run an efficient travel service.  Fourens Travel

Eager to see the town we took off with a car and driver but we didn't get very far.  The roads were almost blocked They seemed like a friendly group so we couldn't resist jumping out to see what was going on. 

It turned out to be a political rally., the object was to celebrate the merging of the DIC(K)  party with the NCP, perhaps as well really with a name like that.

Don't know who the man with the body of a monkey is but we assume he is a politician!

Bus after bus rolled in filled with villagers enjoying their outing to the big city as we abandoned ours until the next day.
