We got up and had breakfast at the hostel this morning, it was a help yourself thing with bread etc laid out. Much more informal compared to the last couple of places, and much more our cup of tea really. We ate it outside in the deck chairs. Afterwards we went back to our room, did some more researching on next destinations and got ready to go out. We went for a walk down to the middle of the three beaches, it had a lot more unfinished shacks on the beach, as w...

After very little sleep from me we woke up and decided neither of us fancied breakfast this morning. We chilled for a bit in the room, James was on the Internet and we were looking at where to stay after our next four nights here as we had nothing booked. We found something and booked for four nights. We then looked into where next to book and tried to work backwards and work out where to stay last near the airport in Kerela. After a bit of this and some sorting ...

Interesting yet again though! Once we arrived at the hostel all I wa...

We found a cash machine in a row of shops, there were quite a few people just hanging around outside the row of shops. We walked a little more, there was lots of b...

Our body clocks have still not adjusted to the 5 1/2 hour time difference here in India. We slept fairly early last night but were then both very awake from about 11pm-3am! On the up side we both got massive chunks of our books read! We got up and had breakfast, it was very similar to the last place, buffet breakfast. We came back to the room to have a sort if our bags then ventured out to find the beach. It was only a 5 minute walk away (if that) we went straigh...
