Sams India.. pt 5

Sams India.. pt 5 !

SO – Alex my travelling buddy has left.. just down to me to have a bit of a good time along with my camera..

First stop: MUNNAR

Tea hills (CLICK FOR LARGER PIC!)

Two travel buddies: Chen & Hanshen!

Us three having epic room changes to avoid mould… MASSIVE thanks to them for looking after me when I got the most ill I’ve ever been… (think averting a heart attack from food)

Chen!

Just went walking in some woods around Munnar..

… and we walk into a film crew!

.. who got us to dance for them!

This consisted of holding a microphone to an iPhone which sent the signal wirelessly to a sound system being powered by a generator about 20m away.. it was hard to dance too.. especially as we find it hard to dance anyway

Just hangin’ out with the ol film star casual like

funky village

seriously beautiful landscape – crazy bus ride going along it tho…

THE LIZARD FISH IS CAUGHT!

FORT COCHIN!

– usually people stay here for 2 or 3 days… I stayed 3 weeks….

Large ancient chinese fishing nets – 8 men let the net into the water, and when they feel lucky they pull on the rope pulling the whole net upwards to see what was swimming above the net

This dude actually had v short arms & legs.. but enjoying life chatting to as many peeps as poss – whenever i passed we usually had a funny conversation or two about stuff

Which captain is more proud?

While walking down the street I was asked to be in another film!

My payment: £5+drinks+food 🙂

– Better get an agent

Met these other funky travellers – hey Lorenzo & Stefano!

Us on the set of ‘Londons Bridge‘

I caught a bit of a cockroach

My room for £2/night comes with other roommates

Train station of Ernakulem

These two (Mark & Vale) saved me from staying on the wrong moving train. Mark ran besides it while I tried to speak to the passengers, who spoke no english and seemed to not know where their train was going.. I literally had to do a James bond jump off with my bags and guitar to land on the last bit of the platform… AWESOME fun tho. Mark could also speak Hindi… it’s so great to see a white man speaking the lands language. Indians v surprised & impressed. Not so much ‘Where you from?’ & ‘Married?’ conversations after.
