The whole group, 22, are now in Kochi (ex. Cochin), a place of 600,000 residents located on the west coast of India in central Kerala.
I enjoyed my time at Varkala and I think most did. Some stayed three nights and left with Br. Denis and 'The Thompsons' to go to Allaphuza, the main town to stay in to visit the Keralan Backwaters, a series of waterways that are near the coast and go inland. Myself and others stayed in Varkala for five nights with Pepe Di Ciccio, and yesterday (30/12) we headed up to Kochi to meet the others who had come from Allaphuza.
At 4:00pm today we are meeting to arrange plans for New Years Eve tonight. The night of the first of January we board a train for twelve hours which takes us to Bangalore, arriving on the morning of the second. The day is spent there and we go to the airport in the evening, to board an aeroplane to Bangkok, Thai Airways flight TG 326, departing on the third of January at 12:30am. Three nights in Bangkok and then we are heading home.
Everyone is very much looking forward to coming home to see you all, and I assume you are all very much looking forward to us coming home.
Have a happy new year. We will see you very soon.
Ben Healy.

Happy New Year to all 'coolies' and staff. We hope you are all fit and well and have had time to reflect on your wonderful efforts this past year [especially your work now].
You have made the papers again, with a response to the "Coolies'" article. Others are impressed and proud of your achievements in India.
Not long now before you are all home. Enjoy Bangkok and the last few days. Looking forward to seeing you all.
Love Peter+Glenda O'Shea
