Alas, I'm already missing the german bakery in Varkala, mainly because there are no cafes or restaurants here that you can sit in peace and read your book or relax and chat. Efficiency here is the waiters watching us eat our food, whipping the plates away and slapping the bill on the table the minute the last morset is put in our mouths. Ah well, we aren't here for long. There are also limited options for breakfast and light snacks - there's dosas (pancake things made of lentil flour that come with coconut goo), and that is pretty much it. Still, it may be boring but at least it's cheap!Today we've looked round the palace (very bling - carved wood furniture and ceilings compete with brightly coloured walls, stained glass and elaborate crytal chandeliers for 'most eyecatching' award), visited the market (the scent of spices and oils, jasmine flowers and ripe fruits - great photo op). We've also found a yoga place where we can attend the drop in lessons in the afternoon - all good fun. Have now been typing away in the internet cafe for an hour, arranging flights for when I get to australia and suchlike, so I'm getting hungry. Guess its's time for... Thali or Dosas with a nice cup of bournevita, yuuummy.
no german bakeries - thats good - think of your waistline!!!
ReplyDeleteHi sweetie, I don't know if any of the internet cafs that you go to have any drawing package, but it would be nice to update yr original travel plan with the one that you've actually done.
ReplyDeleteRob is beside me at the mo' and we're going through some of his work. The floor is wobbling up and down in line with his 1.5sec leg twitch -- God, is it annoying or what !!!
I thought his leg twitch was more rapid - like every 0.5 sec - maybe he is beating the habit!

I assure you you can hear his leg twitch when you are in the kitchen and he is in the office. Are you envious or v envious Liz. It's actually not technical at all, just a good old fashioned leg twitch, and a bit faster than 0.5 sec so he is obviously not beating the habit!
ReplyDeleteAh the depths of leg twitching!
