We had some time in Cochi before catching a flight to Delhi, so we went to the local markets where it was a frenzy of Christmas Shopping. Hawkers were selling every kind of Christmas decoration possible and there were shops full of stars, tinsel, trees and decorations.
Lots of spice shops trading star anise, cloves, cinnamon, coriander, vanilla pods, pepper, nutmeg, etc etc so it even smelt like Christmas as we walked along.
Hi Jane and Ian and Mia, have a wonderful Indian Christmas and safe traveling for the rest of your trip. Have loved reading of your adventures and the smiles when riding the elephant say it all. Look forward to catching up with you get back, love sue
