Hello all wedding guests and potential guests,

We are in Kerala finalizing all the details of the wedding. Its very very special and beautiful here but the climate is (very) hot and humid. The truth is that this place is a real heaven for me and almost a nightmare for Yahel... (he hates heat...), but if we can make a wedding out of it, then I think we can go together through most obstacles in married life... ;)

Cochin is interesting in terms of being a commercial city and because of the Jewish community but there is less breeze there and more pollution. We are now in Trivandrum area (Trivandrum is the capital, we are in Kovalam beach, a bit south of the city) and we are much happier here. Therefore we would like to switch back to the original plan of landing in Trivandrum and flying back from Cochin. Direct drive from Cochin to Trivandrum is 4.5 hours by train and a bit less by car, but the best would be if you could change your flights to land in Trivandrum. The dates will stay the same: most of us will be arriving to Trivandrum on the 31st, the wedding will be somewhere between the 4th-6th and on the 7th we will head up to Allepey (-back water), then Thekaddy (wildlife and spice plantations) then Munnar (Hill station at 2000m high) then Cochin. Flight back of most family members is on the 13th of February.

Please let me know if this change is fine and whether this creates any problem.

The weather is difficult to express over this media, but its not much worse than a common summer day in Tel Aviv area... We are making sure that AC is working well in all places so we can have an escape from the heat in the noon time (Yahel is checking the underground cables to make sure they will hold the load...) We are now heading to check Thekkady and Munnar which should be cooler places, we will send the details of prices soon, we are trying to arrange different options in each place so everyone can choose according to their own budget. The area is full of hotels...

Looking forward,

Love,

Yael
