Artiste Josh and Varkala beach

---

So we arrived safely in Varkala and after a lot of searching we found our b&b "BKs" , the area was like a maze. We spent the first day in Varkala walking around, on the beach, getting bitten by mosi's and getting sunburnt.
On the 2nd evening we met Artiste Joshe at the Kerala Coffee house...a typical lonely planet kindof place i'm quickly getting used to/sick of. Anyways Joshe was a Yoga guru who invited us to some early morning yoga which we did. We met him and some other tourists in a hotel block and did at least 3 hours of yoga i was exhausted, it was so hot and tiring, at least we gave it a try.
After this we went to the hindu temple next door there was a tree covered in little plastic dolls (see picture). For lunch we went to Mango's restaurant for our first thali and keralan fish curry experience it was very yummy. Later on the beach we met up with Joshe again who was trying to get tourists to visit his farm ?! we gave it a miss. Got bitten by bed bugs 😞
