Our beach
Yes, time to drool guys, this is where we spent 10 days. Odaya beach in Varkala. The funny thing is huge hotels cant be built here due to the weakness of the ground. Many people like this! Time for a break, time for flip-flops....
Ok, this is our private 10 day holiday. We were on the road for more that 4 months and our last decent holiday was in Nov 2008, time for a break, time for flip-flops....
Knowing that our India trip would be shorter as planned (no six months visa and only a single entry), we decided to do it properly and fly to Varkala and bbasically do nothing. It was harrd work, but we succeeded. We managed to undergo a 7 day massage treatment, with the beach 2 minutes from our place: pretty nice. The food in our favorite place (Johnney's Cool Cafe) was a struggle everytime we got there: all 100%!f(MISSING)resh (the cutting of the veggies or prepareing of the curries happened only once an order for it was made....), but it took more than 1 hour every time. The suffering we endured.... Hanging in the hammock, sipping your beer / fruit juice while waiting for your dinner. In one word: Tough!
After the 7-days treatment, we were off to Allepey for a 24 hours boat trip on the backwater. For the experts among us: Giethoorn, but then tropical.

Nice !
Not bad at all!!! Must say it is a nice way to get to know a country ;-) just wondering about that boat, so did a family had to sleep outside for a night for you guys to rent that boat? You rich capitalistic westerns! Though that hammock looks just fine for one night, guess they didn't mind ;-)
