A Chronicle of Amy and Sean's World Travels

India: The End.

As it turned out, the end to our Indian travels was rather anti-climatic.  Other than a rickshaw driver taking us to a guesthouse run by his buddy rather than our intended destination (funny how he miraculously remembered English only when we threatened non-payment), nothing happened in Varkala, our last destination.  And by nothing, I mean NOTHING.  Once we found a sea facing hotel room with a balcony, that was the end of that.

It is no surprise that Varkala was uneventful.  It barely felt like India.  Walking along Varkala’s cliffside walkway, the only Indians you would see are the ones trying to get you to come into restaurants or shops.  Our mornings started at any number of cafes playing Jack Johnson, serving banana pancakes and fruit shakes, and our evenings ended with a Kingfisher and some average Indian meals.  Varkala was perfectly enjoyable, but it could have been anywhere.

    Thanks for the posts on India. I arrived in November to India and now will be staying in Varanasi for 3 months with a very nice family. I never expected it.

    Hi Shawn! Wow, I’ll be interested in reading about your stay in Varanasi. Because I am a travel wuss sometimes, we came and went quickly, so it will be neat to learn more about the place.
