31st October 2010 - Kerala

Interesting approach into Kerala airport, you feel like you are on the final approach around 800 feet and then the plane banked steeply to the right before dropping into land! My fellow passenger's confidence not helped by Darcy shouting "we're going down!" interspersed with "don't like Gandi!"

First impressions of Kerala are good, very lush and verdant, much more laid back atmosphere than Mumbai. Two other big differences, the buses don't have windows and the men appear to wear Longyi, like a skirt that reaches the ankles and then can be tucked up to form what actually looks like a big nappy.
