Breakfast on the lake with the birds was romantic, we had such a relaxing time. We said goodbye to our crew of 3, Romeo, wherefore, and artthou! Raj was there to collect us in his gleaming white car and smily face asking how we had enjoyed the boat. Our last day with Raj as we drove away from Alleppey. The road was straight and so we made good time. Steve and I chatted most of the time about life when we get back, so the scenery wasn't that stunning. We stopped for coffee and persuaded Raj to join us, he is a lovely fellow. We picked up the rep from Cox and Kings just outside Kovalam and noticed lots of high tech science parks which are the call centres. Charming chappie who gave us some options ... read more

11th – 18th March: Kerala to Tamil Nadu Ruby: On Sunday we went to Kovalam Beach. We had a big splash around then we went to a swimming pool. Then we had lunch, I had fish and chips. On Monday we just chilled out but this evening we went to Sheela’s house. We had a massive meal. Tuesday we went to Isla di Cocco because it has a swimming pool. I got bleeding gums and George got a stung finger. Then we went home. We had fun!!!!! On Wednesday, we walked along the beach by our house and we found loads of playing cards. On Thursday I bought an orange scritchy Indian dress at Kovalam Beach with money from my Nanny & Grandpop. We did some boogie boarding in the sea. I liked it. I kindly ... read more

This morning we went back to Lighthouse Beach, where I got to play in the sand and jump the waves with daddy. I also brought cousin Evie a nice Indian dress - I hope she likes it. This afternoon we spent some time in the pool and the rest at the local temple because there has been a festival all day. It's been really interesting. It was the first Indian festival me, mummy and daddy have seen. There were lots of fireworks (that started at 7am!), singing and dancing and playing drums. All the ladies and girls were wearing their best sari's. It got very smoky at one point when lots of ladies lined up and had open fires to cook rice. Think they were going to throw it afterwards but I missed that bit. I ... read more

Today we left Kollam and got a taxi to Kovalam, but before we left I saw an elephant standing on a truck being driven into town. Weird. We are staying at Molly's Retreat and it is lovely. I've got a huge room to crawl around and because it's so clean I'm even allowed to play in the bathroom! There is a really nice swimming pool too so I've been in there playing with mummy and daddy. They kept disappearing underwater then popped up and said boo. It was very, very funny. Later we walked to the beach. I don't think I'll be going on there because it is very small and the sea is VERY rough.... read more

Hallo Euch allen, Lange ist mein letzter Eintrag her, wow. Viele neue wertvolle Erfahrungen. Und vor allem ist es bald soweit, komme am 27.01. in Frankfurt an, kaum zu glauben. Freue mich, euch Freunde und Familie wiederzusehen, ob ich aber wirklich reif fuer Deutschland bin….? Entscheidungen habe ich noch keine fuer die Zukunft getroffen, besonders was Job angeht. Will auch gar nicht rational darueber nachdenken, diese wichtige Entscheidung, was meine Lebensaufgabe (Mission) ist, muss vom Herzen kommen, und das dauert eben, besonders, weil wir das in unserem Kopfdominierten westlichen Leben schoen weggeschoben haben. Wir programmieren uns in einer meines Erachtens verrueckten Art und Weise unseren Verstand/ Geist (Konditionierung). Aber diese Erkenntnisse teileich lieber in persoenlichen Gespraechen al shier im Blog. Wichtig ist auf jeden Fall zu verstehen, dass wir dermassen von ... read more
