Kerala Bamboo House - Bliss in a Beach Hut

Another taxi ride later we arrived at our beach hut paradise. A little peace of heaven on a cliff top looking out at the Arabian Sea. Once again, we were in a place with amazing sunsets, friendly local people and waterfront restaurants. A perfect reminder of my favourite place in Bolivia - Lake Titicaca. I don't want to leave.

We're filling our days with yoga in the mornings (which we're not very good at, but you have to start somewhere), breakfast looking over the sea, an hour on the beach, a dip in the wonderful warm waters of the Arabian Sea and then pottering about on the internet a bit in the afternoon. Dinner is again looking over the sea at a hazy sunset and sharing some Kerala fish curry with Stu.

It's low season here as they come into the monsoon season at the end of the next month. It's very hot and humid. I'm loving the heat (around 30-35 degrees), but not enjoying going through two to three tops everyday with the sweating. The only thing bothering us are pesky little ants that like to nip you. No mozzies (yet).

There's not very many tourists or travellers here and the locals are shutting up their shops, preparing for the monsoon. It's great for us as the beach isn't very full and you're not sitting on top of people in the cliff top cafes and restaurants. Bliss.

We've been here two nights and we're going to leave tomorrow or the next day. Whenever we feel like it really. Off further north to sample more of the delights of Kerala.
