Beach Life...
After nearly four weeks of energetic fast paced intense travel, the time had come for us to move into a different gear. And Varkarla cliff was the place we decided it should start...with the long awaited sound of the sea. But not before we negotiated plane, train and auto-rickshaws, and a little incident with an incoming bird through a gap in a car …

Suite....
Une veritable galere pour y aller, entre un bus crasseux (odeur d`urine en sus) et une prise de tete avec un chauffeur de taxi crapuleux.
Heureusement , nous sejournons dans un charmant bungalow agremente d`un tres beau jardin interieur !
Ici, il n`y a rien a faire, si ce n`est siroter des lassis au bord de la …
Kerala - its wet here
Lets start with the journey down here - it wasnt pretty....we decided to fly as the train would have been 18 hours and we were, again, too late to book it, and the bus would have been 40 hours......not a chance! So the flight was set to be 3 and a half hours, couldnt understand why as not a huge distance....we stopped twice on the way, the last leg …
Escape from the Ashram
Back in Madrid I wrote a post about Naomi, a Belgian I'd met on her way back from 5 weeks in the Moroccan countryside who was (and still is) the most hard core traveler I've ever met.
Hana, a Kiwi on a protracted tour through India and SE Asia, wasn't anywhere near Naomi's level in terms of her travel history (not that it was anything to …
Kerela state - part 5
After a hectic few weeks in Kerela we headed further south to a cliff side beach resort- Varkala. We kicked back in Varkala for 6 days for well earned rest(!!??), staying at Kerela Bamboo house. This was excellent and our cheapest yet at 400 R's a night (only 5GBP). We also experienced our second aruyvedic massage - much to Jim's dissappointment …

“ Nice compound, area, freindly staff.. rooms so so ”
Reviewed Jan 4, 2012
I am guessing we got the worst of the bamboo cottages. Bamboo on the outside with a sitting area outside but the room was so strange. A mouldy smell with I think plastic holding the walls up but not sure. We only went there to sleep and shower. The wood furniture in the this room seemed to be eaten away by wood worms. Didn't see any other rooms and to be fair we had to book last minute. The mouldy smell and the plastic inside needs to be changed as well as the holes in the mosquito nets.
Staff were wonderful, freindly, accommadating, the area and rooms spotless and clean, great kitchen, services..
Wonderful Treatmement with professional staff , we enjoyed it very much. The location is fantastic and there is a really nice sense of welcome here. I would return but I wouldn't stay in cottage 109.
