We have a bit of time to kill before getting on the overnight bus, so thought we'd do a quick update of the blog.
There's not a lot to report - the last couple of days have consisted of getting up, going for a splash in the Arabian Sea, rinsing off at the freshwater shower on the beach, laying around on a sun lounger to dry off, finding breakfast, reading, wandering past and occasionally into shops, finding lunch, going to the beach again, finding a spot for a sundowner, showering and dressing for dinner, and eating and drinking once more. That mostly sums it up!
We did deviate from this simple agenda yesterday afternoon when we took part in another cooking class. Mark, I and two young UK women in their mid 20's vacationing from their jobs in Dubai learned some kitchen tricks from our Yogi Master and Chef - Krishna. We made palak paneer, malai kofta, dahl fry, naan, and coconut chutney. Two hours after prepping and cooking, we were stuffing ourselves and enjoying the company. After the class, the four of us went to the beach, drank cold beers and spoke of skiing. It seemed a bit ironic, but certainly was fun!
We hope all is well where you are, and we are looking forward to our next stop - Historical Hampi!
Palak paneer is my fave food!We definitely have to get to Vancouver. Was chatting with Rob and Angele and they are up for a foodie slide show. Let's say March!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I bought you a wall calendar yesterday so if you haven't already, don't get one. I'll mail it this week.
Love the beach hut. How neat is that? I would have been tempted to turn into a beach bum, at least until the money ran out.
ReplyDeleteHi Guys,
ReplyDeleteJust caught up on the blog - looks like you're having a great time! You're brave to be bussing it so much. Any sign of drumsticks yet? Maybe ask a chef at one of your next cooking classes. Per
Terry has the right idea. A little financial planning, liquidate Canadian assets, live and travel under the radar in India you should be able to last a long time. All is well here but starting to look for some warm weather.

Thanks for the comments! Sorry Per, no drumsticks yet, but have been looking. Had a few paper dosas at your recommendation though, and I love them! As far as turning into a beach bum, I think we've seen more than a few of them! I'm not convinced it's the life for us though. I could have handled a few more days/weeks though, to be sure!
ReplyDeleteOh, and Jo, yes, let's pick a date in March! I presume foodie slide show comes with foodie food? Can't wait to see you guys!
ReplyDeleteYes, I saw the photo of the dosas, not sure if it was the paper one. Actually, speaking of which, there was a photo of me on the front page of the Economic Times of India on Tuesday (not top of your reading list I'm sure).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, you're making me hungry and I'm planning to take Ursula to our favourite London South Indian restaurant.
Happy travels. Photos of Hampi please.
