A lot of tourist like to visit Kochi during the winter. This is because the sun shines a lot during the winter so it is a great place to get away from the cold weather and warm up a little bit. At the first of October, Kochi will see a little bit of rain but it is just enough the cool the people off and water some of the farmland of Kocki. But if a person is really needed their pores to be opened up to get a great treatment, then they should visit Kochi in October or November.

This traveling on our own was, indeed, a good thing because there were times when we didn’t feel well or had something else unexpectedly come up for us to do or see while we were there for 2 weeks.

One of these events that came up was a nasty fall as we were panning for gold in the famous “Woods Creek.” Falling on a rock in the creekbed (on an elbow no less) pretty much squelched activities for the next day, so we were day for a day of rest and recuperation.

Another thing that came up, also unexpectedly, was that the husband of a couple we know near San Jose wanted to give us his own special tour of the business at which he worked–a very upscale grocery store. We didn’t want to miss that, of course, and would have if we would have been signed up with a regular tour.

The friend who went with us absolutely loves plants and flowers and also would have missed out on a nice purchase of a seemingly rare plant at this particular store. Well, at least it was one she was unfamiliar with and had never seen in our area in Pennsylvania, and she’s pretty much seen (or has) them all.

The above are just some facets of doing your own travel, at your own leisure. Not everyone, of course, has their own friend who can help in the traveling process or be their own personal tour guide, so that is another matter to consider.
