We arrived a little late, so the sunset already left the ocean to another happy beach, but what i could see was promising. 
The only reason for our stay at this secret place was a BEGAR LIKE GUY who invited us to johnsons nest. a place that was chosen by my mother from the lonely planet just minutes before he came. well, this place advertised another guesthouse .. the one at the secret beach. of course its not secret. it was a little village full of fisherman. short overview of the time I spent there?

THE beach. again!
one little story how to not be stupid in india: Last time I wrote you about goa. you know, that was my fault. because by the time i left the city, and the tuktuk-driver found where i wanted to go, the gesthouse was closed. no one would let us in anymore. so we had to sleep at the beach. on the terrace of the beachhouse, they had, too. sure it was closed. I tell you there are freaky animals living in the sand, that dont like daytime. uargh!! crabs, worms, ants, bugs... i was so happy to have the terrace!!! MAKE SURE: to know where you need to go, before you leave the place
AND tell them if you are about to come late!
Next day everything was fine after sunbathing. we made friends with mary and june from england. they tought my mother some english, and I fixed junes camera. (she somehow disabled the flash, so every pic would be blurry) hehe. and we had a little teatime...
Hope to see them again!
The gueshouse itself was very quiet, had the best food i ever ate! cabage with coconut... fantastic!
I bought a skirt called lungi. ... took me three days to figure out how that worked.. thats what the men wear there. perfect . air, light.. except if it falls down while you walking. then it has got some embaracing potential.
still love you, but no time left now. i have to go to the beach, swimming. I write you later!
about to head for the south of the subcontinent!!! right now i am sitting in Varkalla: WONDERFULL!! HOW? Read me later!
C YA!!!
