12 Hours till the off

Guess who's been left to set up the blog while Marina has a few "jobs" to do.

It's about 4pm, tomorrow morning at 4am, Clive, (RSC Clive) is taking us to Birmingham airport, so we can sit there for 2 hours to get a flight to Frankfurt, 13:30 we are on a fight to Mumbai, which means we will be in India in time for "Friday Night is curry night" perfect.
As we arrive it will be Maz's Birthday.
We are staying at the Taj (lightning never strikes twice) Mahal Mumbai for 4 days.
We then board a 2 day train into Kerala staying at the Cochin Old Harbour Hotel.
It's at this point when we will get a car to Aripalam to visit the family church and tomb of the Montaut family.
On the 21st we move to a Rainforest hotel, that's the other side of Aripalam, if things haven't gone to plan in Aripalam, and the builder has a new vespa, it's from here that we will need to buy some tools and do the work ourselves !
On the 23rd we're off to Allapaly, due south (and hotter) of Cochin, we will stay there with some one called Motty.
we need then only to get back to Mumbai for 3:25 on the 30th of December to catch our flight home.
We have drink at Caro & Michelle's for new year, so we do hope to be back !

Now to put my toothpaste in a clear plastic bag !
