Kerala 2010 - India

[txuck]

Ive been 4 weeks in Kerala-- India.. I was thinking t go to himachal pradesh but after the water problems in Leh and cachemir I decided to go only kerala.
I start in madrid fligth to munich...2 big beers and flight to delhi... bufff delhi is a kaos

Os pongo un pequeño resumen de mi viaje a Kerala en India.... despues de los problemas de inundaciones en Leh... decidimos ir solo a Kerala.... madrid ... munich,,, 2 ricas jarras de cerveza y vuelo a delhi.... delhi es un kaos total... aun asi me gusto el primer impacto... no asi el segundo a la vuelta

Some photos of red fort in delhi,,,, and bazar in old delhi...
Machine for cut your weed

 

[txuck]

the day that we were leaving from delhi to kerala started to rain like I never saw before.... so going to the airport should take 30 min. and we did in 3 hours...
Then we arrived to the comunist Kerala... our destination

 

[txuck]

Our first stop in kerala was Varkala.
Varkala is a nice town,,, with a big nice cliff , big nice waves for bodyboardings, surfing... nobody was doing ... so u have the waves for your self...:
u can find good restaurants, nice places for relaxing... ayurveda medicine is good too..:

 

[txuck]

When we arrived to kerala was the Onam, a party for all the religions and all the people in kerala.... the onam is the party of recollection

They decorated in the roads with flowers making sculptures

After two days in Varkala,, i started to check about weed.... I met some spanish that lived there and they told me that the good weed was up in the mountains,,, they were stoping smoking for a while and they give 2 tolas of brick brown weed... not too seedy... just a few... the high was nice and euphoric... like nice sativas.

I met an american guy from michigan... i used to live in novi and he born in livonia... so we talked and he told me where to score good hash( kind of difficult in kerala)....

Awesome thread!
Thx for sharing Txuck!
Are those bananas being re-educated in order to go from yellow to red?

Big ups txuck !!
As I told u, I will follow your post.
Nice sights of Kerala's beaches and waves, I remember big ones at Puri's coast. The next time take your board and enjoy surfing alone.
As you said, Kerala is a different place in India, not so poverty as other places, most of them on the north and northeast.
I fell so happy of your nice trip !! Call me when you decide to take another one!!

Hugs !!
