Day 66 & 67: Fort Cochin & Munnar, Kerala
Day 66: Fort Cochin: Today I headed around 'Jew Town', which is where the spices of Kerala are bought and sold. It's called 'Jew Town', because alot of the former people in that area were of Jewish religion. Some of them had come over from Europe during the halocaust, and some of them had been there for hundreds of years and were part of 12 lost tribes of Isreal. As I approached 'Jew Town', I could smell all the spices, they had quite a variety of spices and Jewish artifacts. Then headed to a traditional Kerala dance called 'kathakali', they basically use facial and eye gestures during the dance.
Day 67: Munnar: Today took a tour of the spices and teas in Munnar, a couple of hours away from Fort Cochin. It was very lush and green. Saw many spices along the way and tea plantations. Took a tour of the tea plantations. Had the famous Keralan fish in a banana leaf for dinner it was quite taste.
