In port at Cochin, India. We did a half day walking tour taking in the old fort area with its Portuguese architecture and old Chinese fishing nets. Very affluent part of India with 97% literacy rate and most kids attending university. Soccer boys, churches getting ready for Christmas. 20% Christian.

We’ve been doing a music trivia each afternoon, sometimes doing OK (80s) and other times not so good (Motown). We’ve also discovered one of the on-board entertainers, Kyle, a solo singer/guitarist who is excellent. I’ve made it my daily ritual to see him for a pre-dinner show. He’s got to know us now so he comes over and has a chat.

Night show was Fairy tale show by the ships cast.
