On the beach!

We arrived in Varkala, Kerala after 44 hours on the train from Mumbai about five hours ago, found a nice room with a balcony, found the beach, cooled off, and I've been dosing under a big umbrella. Just got woken up a while ago by Heather and Melissa returning from a short expedition with cut-up fresh pineapple, green coconut milk, crisps and cold water: exactly what the doctor ordered. As we sat and ate and looked at the sea, a whole pod of dolphins started playing around for our delight - this is not going to be a hard week or two, I think. And the internet cafe is 45 seconds from the beach, too, so maybe we can catch up with some more photos and stories and reply to a few more emails!
