We got up early this morning as we wanted to be ready to go at around 7.30am. We got packed and made our way downstairs, we were even too early for the hotel, there was no one to take the key. Someone got up eventually and James nipped to get some fruit for breakfast and a tuk tuk to take us to the train station. He was back really quickly, we got to the train station and nipped to the ATM before finding our platform. We sat for a little while, the train pretty m...

We managed an early start at the beach again this morning, seen as it will be our last here in Varkala. We've really enjoyed Varkala, it's a really easy place to be and enjoy, two weeks have passed very quickly. We stayed until about 1.30pm again then went back to the hotel to sort our bags and get packed as much as we can because we are catching the train at 8.40 in the morning. We went out for tea late, we aimed to get some more fish we had never had. We walked...

Depending on how much money we have left at the end we may extend our stay in America, although if we hardly have any it may get shortened!! For the rest of the day we chilled and went out for tea later.

We had showers and did a little more planning before going out for tea later on. James had more fish, this time trying butterfish which was really good.

We thought we'd get some more planning done today seen as we're on a roll. It's a little difficult booking plane tickets when the wifi is on and off, everything seems to take forever. When we went out for breakfast we went to a place which had an upstairs and you could look out over the sea. While we were looking we were watching a couple of people who were swimming right out, they went so far, it was like they were hoping to get to the boats! We made some good p...
