Dear Devan,

Great to hear from you! From Ernakulum to Belgrade I was changing three planes and waiting 8 hours at Mumbai airport, but all in all it was splendid trip without any serious problem. The funniest thing was alarm of the airport police about the quantity of ayurvedic medicines bottles which they considered possible blast liquid. I showed them prescription from the pharmacy, but they could not real malay language. At the end I opened the bottle and drunk a little to persuade them that it is medicine, not a blast. Now I enjoyed the ayurvedic  medicine for liver which is scheduled for use every day at six am – this forced me to wake up every morning at six am and to change my daily routine very positively. My wife has a problem with her medicine for asthma, because it has so intensive taste and smell that she could not stand. She tried to take it once, but desisted. Today she is going to make another guess, hopefully successful.

Forget please what I said about hotel, this is quite unimportant. I am sorry now because I mentioned that. The important thing is that we spent fantastic two days around Ernakulum and that I saw so many captivating things and sights, and got acquaintance with local culture through your interesting explanations. I wish to thank you for all the time that you spent with me and gave me opportunity to better understand India, Kerala and Kochin, first place of contact between Europeans and Indians. Hill Place is gorgeous place and I learn a lot from our guide there. Also I wish to ask you to convey my kindest regards to your friend and to our driver. In the next mail I will send you photos for all of you.

Fond regards,

Aleksander
