9th Feb - Alleppey - Varkala

onto varkala...was a bit of a long bus ride and we were a bit silly not to train it there but oh well. so much to see out of the bus window, i love llooking at all the people and their shops and what theyre doing. drove along the coast for a while too, white-ish sands with palm trees and loooong waterways streching to the sea...heaven! seems they have a prob with erosion on this coast as there was often a large hand made stone wall between the houses and the sea...perhaps flooding too?
Arrived in varkala and to our lil hut. Not really a typical beach place but tall red cliffs, with sand and surf below and then all along the top of the cliff are the restaurants and cafes and accoommodation and shops. So lovely to wander along the top, with the ocean expanding out below. we stopped off at sunrise cafe which was next to our hut place and had oohhhh the nicest onion pakora and garlic naan! went for a walk and the sea is SOOO nice and warm and checked out some of the shops. Realised we had eaten too much for our late lunch...whoops :P so no dinner and early to bed for us!
