New Year

We changed our travel plans and decided to go back to Kochi for New Year’s Eve and the carnival on New Year’s Day which was completely crazy! Mayhem all night …a kind of non stop street party in the whole town. 




Traditionally they burn a huge Pappanji  ( old man) at midnight …this year they had two on different sites to help with crowd control!
They also burn Father Christmases!
Although we have Guy Fawkes I think burning Santas wouldn’t go down too well in England!
