well, varkala has not been so kind to us as allepey was. it started off well, we arrived had nice lunch, found a comfy homestay, and enjoyed a fabulous sunset down at the beach.
the room was a bit warm, so we left the windows opened, but there were bars on them, and it was a gated homestay. however we awoke on valentines day to find that someone had reached through the windows while we were sleeping and stole all my cash from my bag (swedish, indian, and all the other odds bids i had in there). as well as cut the bag to get the itouch pouch. and took off with my beloved itouch! i was devastated. as were zoe and eijla. they used it nearly as much as i did. anyway, we went the police, but they pretty much laughed in our faces and said that we were lying to get insurance money. made me feel even worse. so we spent a lot of time dealing with the robbery and did not get to enjoy varkala all that much. though luckily they left behind my visa cards, drivers license and strangely enough even zoe´s little pink camera was in that same bag, but it did not get taken. odd. however we did find eijla´s valling flaska on the other side of the fence. who knows. anyway, we did managed to take a day trip to check out kovalam beach, which contrary to what everyone says was way less crowded than varkala. now we know where to go when farmor and farfar come to kerala.
then it was the train back up to allepey to wait to arrival of farmor and farfar on their early morning flight.
