Signature Residence Varkala

... the day I signed on the ship. The romance, the affair, the human side of me should be hidden under a heavy blanket and away from sun rays. La passion, the fountain of joy and trouble all together. What a dilemma! Stop thinking romantically can be such a easy tool to alienate one from another. What a handy tool to be left out the drama, the commotion, the madding crowd. Locked up. Emptied ...

... to go a bit insane. My tootsies sent me scurrying out the hut at 9.00am for an auto rickshaw ride to a town centre pharmacist where I flung myself at the counter screaming ANTI-HISTAMINES!!! Four rupees a tablet, with little instruction and a cream I think may be for thrush. Its worth a try. I got 20, and managed to get back to the hut and let the anti-histamines take me on a valium like fluffy cushion of sleepy time. With no burning feet. Sorted. <br><br>

... taking some photo's before we got escorted off the private land by a tea farmer, oops! The rickshaw driver then took us to a very local and 'rustic' hut for some local tea (chai), we accompanied the tea with a 'Dosi' each which are very similar to a pancake, very tasty we both agreed. We stopped to take in the busy ladies farming the tea bushes with what looked like a pair of shears with a bag attached to catch the tea leaves. Each field is farmed once every ...

... a bit, but there really wasn't much to see. I wonder why the ship stops at some ports.<br>I asked the driver to take us to the shops that he would use to buy clothes and they were really great. Very crowded with merchandise and lots of staff. The girls were in their traditional 2 piece outfits (not saris) and looked gorgeous with their big brown eyes. They were looking at me and laughing and I asked what they were laughing at and was told it was my ...

High with frustrations from a funeral I didn't completely understand, in a culture where I couldn't be consoled with a cuddle, or even a hand shake- "What would the others think"? I happily downed the extra strong Kingfisher, and marvelled at the laughter. This was soon followed by a 'Toddy Bar'. Several bottles of the local liquor later, and a litre of &#8220;White Mischief&#8221;, it was only natural that we all ran around ...

... chilled place called Shiva Garden near another guesthouse/ restaurant called Johnny Cool with a good garden space. Mahashivaratri Festival or the 'The Night of Shiva' is celebrated with devotion and religious fervor in honor of Lord Shiva, one of the deities for Hindus. Shivaratri falls on the14th night of the new moon in the Hindu month of Phalgun which happened to be February 23rd this year. I had hoped to be at one of the more important Shiva temples for the ...

... Also in Hindu culture, the b*ny*n tree is *lso c*lled "k*lp*vriksh*" me*ning 'wish fulfilling divine tree'. We found out *bout * good trib*l vill*ge *rt sp*ce *nd h*d bre*kf*st on the be*ch with some nice, morning, ch*nting tr*cks.

I w*s very keen to see one of these events th*t *re re*lly just h*ppening in Ker*l ...

... strong current but I was fine, I swam back in anyway to find that he wasn&#8217;t in fact concerned about my safety but just wanted to see what I had caught. Clearly impressed as he then shouted for all of his friends to come and have a look. The ball was now in my court, as instead of asking me for money they were fighting who got to take me out tomorrow. The next day I went out with one of the fishermen, he ...

... shelter thought of the massive white man standing next to them in only a pair of Calvin Klein's and flip flops!!! Good look! The boat trip was pretty cool and quite an eyeopener, to see families washing in the same river water that they use for everything from drinking, cleaning their teeth, to washing their pots and supplying the rice fields. The water snakes swimming around in it have been more then enough to put me off even dipping a tow in, and thats not even taking into ...
