Beautiful sunset over the Arabian Sea

We were treated to a beautiful sunset over the Arabian Sea, the best one since we have been here - with deep reds and purples over a HUGE fleet of fishing boats that came out like the stars every night.

Nice beach

The beach that we are on is in south kerala, a small beach town on the cliffe and quite a nice beach - was so nice to be able to go for a swim and lie on the beach after all the hot and sticky travelling we have been doing. I went for quite a long walk along the cliffes interpesed with the odd swim the next day and came across the locals with their goats, sardines drying in the sun, a man washing has buffalo in the stream...... i think I could easily stay here a few more days but no such luck......
