After 4 days at sea, it felt good to arrive in Cochin. Due to the problem with the pod, we are missing the ports of Mumbai and Abu Dhabi. Our day in Cochin was great. We hired a taxi and went to see the fishing nets and all the fresh fish that had just been caught. We then went to Jewtown, which is a series of streets with many shops. It is so colorful to see all the clothes, jewelery and handicrafts lined up, shop after shop. It was back to the ship for lunch and a quick nap and then we went by bus and boat to the ship's event at an island. It was decorated beautifully and there were performances by the locals and lots of food. Although it was hot, there was a nice ocean breeze and open bar. Upon our return to the ship, the staff was waiting on the dock with cold towels and water and welcomed us back. The ship left almost 2 hours late as they were working to repair the damage to the pod. We have 5 days at sea and then when we reach Dubai on the 31st, they will continue the repairs.
