Day of leisure

Alappuzha, Kerala, India
Another leisurely breakfast and a stroll to the cashpoint before having an early lunch in the restaurant we went to last night as for a small fee we can use their pool and sun loungers .We had the place to ourselves and stayed until sunset.We walked on the beach and joined all the Indians who come in minibuses and coaches to pack the beach.In front of us were a party of school kids who have just gone on study leave prior to their end of year exams and " summer" holiday.They all got drenched as the breakers crashed over them.A real end of term feeling. For dinner we chose another beach view terrace restaurant and caught a bit of the sunset but it clouded over and we had a short downpour.On our way back we were stopped by the local level crossing.We had seen many queues up north when we travelled but it was fun to watch the mayhem as all the motor bikes and scooters all gather on the wrong side of the road and charge each other as the barrier lifts.Sensibly the cars wait.
