A blending of several small villages on the southwestern coast created the current incarnation of Kochi (or Cochin), where sunset strolls, sampling fresh fish from seaside vendors and boat rides through the islands just offshore top visitors' to-do lists. Art centers showcase the traditional dance, Kathakali. European influences are seen in the 16th-century Portuguese-built churches and forts, while the mark of early Chinese traders is visible in the unusual fishing nets dotting the shoreline.

We were met at our hotel by our guide for the day and he was waiting for us as we arrived at the front of the hotel. The car and driver were good - the traffic was busy as it was rush hour and there is a lot of roadworks to build a new bridge between North and South Goa. Some places of interest were pointed out an route and the stops we made were interesting. We enjoyed the day, including lunch at the Spice Farm where we had a buffet including fish, chicken and vegetable curries. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. An enjoyable experience.
