"god's own land" part-2

5.30 a.m...Piiinnnng!!!! goes the clock alarm.."It's not supposd to be this way!!..im on holiday remember!" i screamed out loud trying to get my head to stop going bang bang in unison with the ping of the alarm..and to find my sister sound asleep as if the loud ping was just a bird churping...was another mind boggeling thing!
i decided to get out of bed at around 6.30 because lying in bed pretending to be asleep was not something i was good at. after going about my morning rituals i went strait out to the dining room. the ladies of the family were busy getting the breakfast ready i senced with the amazing smells from the kitchen, the men of the house...i.e my uncles and my dad, were glued to the television watching the repeat of yesterdays world cup matches, and me being a futbol fanatic myself headed straight to the couch!
at around 9.30 the exitement began.."tulsi wants us there as early as possible!..we have exactly one hour to get there!", "who took the iron?! i need it now"...."dont forget to take the camera!..wait dont we have to pick up mr.s and mrs.s on the way there?". questoins,orders, crys for help were heard all over the house as we all tried to get ready on time fortunately every one at home was ready by 10 and we reached the hotel where the engagement was to take place by 10.50...

The first thing i noticed when i enterd the hall was the bright colours in the room, all the ladies were so beautifully dressd with hair all pinned up as if out of a bridal magazine and my couzin, the bride-to-be all pretty in a red and gold saree sitting on the stage next to the groom-to-be. Cameras,relatives ,waiters with treys were all over the place people laughing, hugging as if reunited afer a long time; children running around, the parents to the to-be-newly weds running around making sure everything was alright. for some one like me who hasent been for a wedding in over 5 years this was a sight i was soo amused by- the colours, the lights, the decor, the sounds, the smells , and how could i forget! the food!

at the end of the function, you could see on evryones faces that all they wanted to do was just plop on their beds and catch up on some zzzzz's.

we got home at 4.00 pm. and decided that we should rest before we decided to venture out.

at around 6.00 opm we were on our way to fort cochin, if you havent been to fort cochin before make sure that fort cochin is your next destination on your next holiday trip.

in a way fort cochin is some what like goa, but since i havent been to goa yet, i cant comapare the two. but fort cochin is an amazing place!

we decided to dine at the koder house as we had herd alot about it, and trust me koder house was better than i expected. Before koder house became a lodge , it belonged to acouple of Jewish people for about 200 years and looked like something out of an english novel. actually alomst all the houses at fort cochin lokd like they were something out of an english novel.

koder house is a lodge with 8 to 10 suites all diffrent from each other, a spa centere, a restraunt that has amazing food and a cute little pool at the back.

another must se when you are in fort cochin!
