Just a quick one on our last full day in Kovalam...
Firstly, Dad...I learned how to wind the Turban onto my head...I need Cooper's help to get it right, but it's easier than I'd imagined.
And Guy, we're in India for another week, we fly from Mumbai to Singapore very early in the morning (aka just after midnight) on the 5th.
Now...in Kovalam, we have 'laid on beach, worked on tan' as Cooper suggested... however, since we both burned on the first opportunity to do so, we have been considerably more careful since then, staying in shade etc
The sunburn's mostly gone now though and we've still enjoyed here a lot! The peddlers of 'handicrafts' and fruits are a tad annoying as they persist with you all day everyday no matter where you are, but at least wih some you can have some more playful banter.
(Quick interruption from Cooper here - the hawkers aren't that bad, Nixon is just a bit crap at ignoring them and ends up in a pickle when they want to sell him stuff!! Still, they are not much worse than those in Tenerife etc...no 'lucky-lucky' men selling fake rolexes here!!)
It's SO humid here, the sweat just runs and runs all day...but you get used to it and drink a LOT!
Anywho, thanks for all the messages!! They are fun for us to read. Guy, I hope the maths problems don't get too much harder, it'll be sad if we have to lose touch! I hope you all like the photos that we've finally managed to get on too!
Cooper here again...well we have had a lovely week in Kovalam relaxing which was exactly what we needed after all the sightseeing of the first fortnight! I can't believe that our time in India is coming towards the end...overnight train to Goa tomorrow then 5 nights there to go though...so not too bad! We are really enjoying our looong holiday, and the tans are coming on nicely!!
Hope all is well back in sunny England...I would very much like a nice cup of tea...chai is ok but it's just not the same!! Maybe someone can post me a teabag???
Anyway....lots of love to all...we will report back from Goa before too long.
