Sweating in the south..

Watching the sun set over the Arabian Sea munching on fresh Barracuda and Tiger prawns listening to cafe del mar.
Life in the little south western town of Varkala.
We are here for a couple of weeks of down time after travelling through the highest tea plantation in the world, Munnar.
Enjoying the crisp cool nights at 1600m.
A respite from the Keralan lowlands infested with mosquitoes from the numerous canals and backwaters that create a unique life in costal Kerala.
A night of sleepless mosquito biting hell where I swear I looked over in the middle of the night and saw Lonna levitating from the thousands of mosquito's piercing her skin. She was deep asleep, only to wake in horror at the hundreds of red swollen bites covering her body!
Our last weeks in Hampi were spent scaling the super sharp, steep, and spectacular boulder problems strewn across the arid landscape of the ancient Vijnayagar kingdom.
With a few days cycling to the refreshing lake where Lonna dodged the "crocodiles" and other days checking out the funky gravity defying formations of the boulders while wandering amidst temples.
Hampi is a great place to get happily lost in the unique atmosphere that balances between amazing geological granite formations and old culturally rich temples.
Eventually we will make our way further south, deeper into the searing heat, to enjoy some peaceful time of yoga and meditation at the Sivananda center in southern Kerala.
