The Tranquility of Varkala

After a brief stop in Alleppey for lunch we took a train down to the coastal town of Varkala.
The main tourist drag of Varkala is right along a large cliff that overlooks the beach.


We stayed in a hotel on the cliff called "Mother Palace" where we spent a lot of time relaxing and swinging in our hanging basket chair.

While we were here we both got traditional ayurvedic oil massages, these pictures were taken right after...



We spent a lot of time swimming and boogie boarding at the beach here.






Another great thing about Varkala was the amazing seafood dinners, that are a fraction of the price that you would pay in most places.
Sorry ocean!


We were persuaded to purchase some specially made Indian garments from a local tailor...so now we can look like proper Indian tourists!

We said goodbye to our little beach paradise after 6 wonderful days.
