One final post before we officially leave kalpetta to go on vacation. Today was the first day of vacation and we climbed Mount Chembra, the highest peak (about 2000 m) in this area of Kerala... in the "Western Ghats" region. It was pretty strenuous; even though it only took about 2 hours, we raced up because our guide wanted to be done as soon as possible. Plus, I'm out of shape.
Now we're going to Trivandrum, near the tip of India, taking an overnight bus. We hope to meet up with some fishermen that we met in Trissur. From there a couple of us are going to Kochi (colonial name = Cochin), where there is a "Jew town" and is generally an interesting place. both Trivandrum and Kochi are on the coast, and are going to be bloody hot. Then we have to be back in Bangalore next Thursday morning, to catch a plane to China on Friday, the 10th.
