Varkala


Varkala is tiny and beautiful. The beaches are outstanding, the water is warm and salty enough to float me and the food is great! The days have gone something like this: wakeup to birds singing, meditate and do a little yoga, head to Cafe Del Mar for breakfast and then hit the beach until after sunset! Go back to Skylark Guesthouse and wash away the evils of the day :) and then head back out for an amazing supper! It is a terribly arduous schedule but I am managing to keep up! The main beach is the above picture and the actual town is perched on the clifftop. The stairs back up at the end of the day are very tiring!!!



Black beach is much more quiet and I spent a few days here until I found the little secluded beaches! They are so beautiful....



I could not resist taking this picture and have titled it 'An Indian Bathing Suit.' I have not seen one Indian women in a 'western' bathing suit. Needless to say there are many gawkers on the beach but the police quickly move them along....

Ok... really happy you've escaped that evil 'JUST BE' ashram and are back on the beaches. You have definitely covered the 'ASHRAMS' part of your blog but I'm a touch concerned about the amount of time you have left on your vacation, and the number of 'BROWN BOYS' you'll need to consume to balance of your title. Spill it, or GET BUSY!
