10th feb - Varkala

Yes i have screwed up my dates, this is now correct...but really can't be bothered chnaging them atm! sorry peeps!
Got up earlier today (8!!!) to have breakfast with the french couple who we leaving today. Walked to the other end of the cliff since josephs le routard book said the last plac had a great traditional kerelan breaky...and it sure did!! I got the wheat puttu which comes out a roll of wheat stuff with coconut, its warm like porridge and with a thicker consistency. its served with milk and honey and banana...and was great! BUT too big to finish, you could have one between 2 people! much nicer than a curry type dish for breaky (still can't REALLY get my head round that...). taste very similar to flapjacks that you get in the uk.
said goodbye to our new french friends and now have somewhere to stay in Rouen, which is very sweet.
Since den was still teletubby-ish (also possibly due to the big dinner last night...) we had a laxing day in the shade on our deck reading and chilling out. Somewhat tried to have a healthier lunch of sandwich and salad...go arn. A small swim and we HAD to go back to the funky art cafe for dinner so after a shop at all the tibetan shops (which seemed slightly pointless as we go there for real in a couple of months..). seems there are a lot of tibetan refugees in varkala as a settlement is not tooooo far away and they make more money out at the coast. apparently 55 hours to get back home and most of them can't go back. theres still more coming too, very sad really. I wonder how we will find it.
Fish was even better, blue marlin tonight and stuck to the easier kerelan spices...so good and so full!
