Beaches and sunshine - at last

We are finally back in the lovely village of Varkala in South Kerela. It is still as beautiful as I remember. I hate to say that it is fantastic lying on a warm beach and swimming in the sea in January. I have been eating masala dosa's again, yipeee.

Me and Jim are still recovering from jetlag, new year and a long year of work so it is lovely to be able to relax again. We have been having adventures in ricksaws and sitting on the beach cliff drinking special tea (beer to you and me)

New year in Mumbai was as very funny, we stayed in a bar with a great mix of locals and tourist. I'm not sure who got the most excited at 12am Jim or the locals around us, I think that Jim encouraged them to sing, dance and jump around.

The only downer is that we have had our flat broken into in Brighton. We are still not sure what is missing but our poor neighbour, Michelle and Jim's brother Alun are having to deal with it all. We are insured and it certainly isn't going to ruin our holiday.

Anyway that is it for now, I must get back to the beach, the sea is just too nice not to jump in.

Sending you all some Indian sunshine, oh and happy new year

lots of loveFi and Jim xxxxxxxx
