Orange seller

Allepey.

The Venice of the east? Certainly a curious place. Was given two free bananas by Alex a banana seller, which was an auspicious start to the day...and that was it, another day spent wandering around...aimlessly and lacking only a map and a sense of direction. But not a long stay I think...the mantra being tomorrow ticket...

Most odd, almost anachronistic, place I'm staying in: rasta colours on the front gate, a kind of Bob Marley fetish abounds. There's a guitar lying about where two of the guys who work here are attempting to learn redemption song...they knew i had a guitar and so i was asked to play, thankfully could almost remember it which was good....but mostly everyone seems to meander around in various states of intoxication...all very goa, this small corner of allepey.

And another night beach, which is also a sunset place. More chilli pakora...and tomorrow coffee at the Indian coffee house:-) kerala's coffee cooperative, owned by the employees. Communist coffee....freundschaft:-)
