Hello! :)
Unfortunately I didn't have any money to buy anything, just a few souvenirs for friends.
But for sure I could take something with me because on the return flight, by checking in ( Qatar line), the lady asked me: “Only this”? Although I also gave up my backpack in addition to my suitcase.
If you want to order something, here is whatsapp number from Ashraf +91 70519 53357 - you can send him photo of what you want - any statue - and he will find it.
Say you have the number from Vesna, you will get best price.
We drank tea in his shop. A nice person.
If you or your parents want to travel to Thekkady, these shops are near to Chrissie's hotel - see my last posting. You have to take fly to Cochin Airport.
I wish you a beautiful day!
