We were treated to a beautiful sunset over the Arabian Sea, the best one since we have been here - with deep reds and purples over a HUGE fleet of fishing boats that came out like the stars every night.

Nice beach

2008-02-27T01:02:00.000-08:00

The beach that we are on is in south kerala, a small beach town on the cliffe and quite a nice beach - was so nice to be able to go for a swim and lie on the beach after all the hot and sticky travelling we have been doing. I went for quite a long walk along the cliffes interpesed with the odd swim the next day and came across the locals with their goats, sardines drying in the sun, a man washing has buffalo in the stream...... i think I could easily stay here a few more days but no such luck......

Amazing Varkala

Shannon Marie writes about her life in Varkala.

The next day we took a short train farther south to Varkala. Lieke,Daan, Jan and I went but Marleen and Mendy traveled south. We were going for the beach and it was wonderful. There were tons of foreign tourists but I was relieved to see such a beautiful part of India. It really became clear to me since visiting the south how diverse India really is in so many ways. There are palm trees here and the weather is warm. It feels nothing like winter even for me. I was able to lay on the beach and I even bought a bikini for the occasion. It made me feel good to know that I could show skin again and not have to worry about anything. We spent several days there and I had an amazing time. I finally got to ride an elephant which was fun although I will never pay to do it again. I felt guilty after because the elephant didn't seem too happy. I love elephants though. There was a baby and he was touching us with his trunk and tried to steal by little purse. There are tons of pictures of us on the elephant. LOL. Crazy tourists. I got a sunburn on the beach in Varkala and I am soooooooo tan now.
