Another day in Varkala

After breakfast I walk up the cliff to have a cappuccino – the hotel serves instant Nescafe, which is awful. The cappuccino is okay, but not great. What I would give for a good one.

Sea air, Sea food, Sea view.

Stan and I made the move from one beach to another, leaving Gokarna with all of its simple and laid back charm to Varkala, all the way down in the very south of southern India.

Yesterday Maire completed her course treatment at the Ayurveda clinic....And I think she was pleased to do so. She rounded it off with a powder massage, which she enjoyed and a steam bath, which she didn't.
