I was reminded that I have not posted in a bit. Where did I leave off? with the sketchy e-mail service on this ship, I am not sure what got through and what did not; therefore, I will just start where we are now. Since being optimistic is the point, you will have to decipher this for yourself as you read on.
Today we are doing the first of the last 3 days at sea. We started out the day at the gym. Yes, I did say we and gym in the same sentence. Marshall did the treadmill; I did several upper body weight machines and the rowing. These have become my favorites and they are getting to be easy at the low level I use. My next step will be to advance the weights and increase the time before we leave the ship. hopefully we will both continue something when we get home.
Back to India and the “experience’. Both ports in India were hot and humid. Goa was less developed, but it had more to see than Cochin historically--at least on our tours. From the distance across the port, Cochin was quite beautiful. Each place visited had vast amounts of greenery and left-overs. Black mold is a bountiful crop in Cochin and to a lesser degree in Goa. There must be a great deal of building going on since most buildings looked to be unfinished at this point. We wondered where the call centers were located; we did not see any of the building as in China.
A view of the street carts.
As we were leaving the port, the city lights were beginning to come on. The lights of the ferries glittered while they crossed the bay. Our harbor pilot, in his crisp white uniform, gracefully leapt from the ship to his awaiting boat and escorted us to the final exit marker light. Pilot and boat crew waved a fond farewell as we slipped out into the Arabian Sea and on to our next adventures at sea.
