10/feb capoeira & a family restaurant
I had a great and gentle night!! And the morning… still better!! Even if food here is not as cheap as in other places, breakfasts are very cheap and complete; Eggs, fresh orange juice, 3 toasts with butter and jam, fruit salad with iogurt and muesly and a chai (thea with milk and a lot of sugar), RS35 (0,6 euro)!! And not at any place; in front of the cliff, facing the Arabic sea… with the breeze…ahh!!! And the music is very good and relaxing. They always play this chill out music, or meditation music, or … I don’t really know how to classify it. But it really fits in this place. No-one speaks loud, no cars nor bikes, and of course no horns!!! But lots of libelulas. But they don’t bother at all.
I went to walk for a while, inland, and after took a bus to varkala town, 5km far from varkala beach. I tried to rent a motor bike, but no-one had it. Here everything is cheaper. After having lunch, went back ‘home’, and walked on the beach, and sat down in ‘my place’. Bodysurfing, reading, sleeping, watching, thinking… After the sunset, I met a couple from new york. They were playing capoeira, Angola, so I went there and startd talking to them. Of course I ended up playing with them, and tried to adapt myself to the Angola rythms! They were here shooting a yoga film. They had previously shooted a capoeira film. Alternative cinema they told me. I already forgot how exhausting capoeira is! At least when you don’t breath well! And my knee… it was ok, but I was worried, and feeling limited. The sunset was breathtaking again. I went to have dinner just besides manoj’s place, where I went yesterday. And here, the waiter was a 9 years old boy. All the family is working in the restaurant, father, mothers, 2 daughter and him. He was so sweet, and willing to talk to me. He explained me things about the school, their games, the fishermen (most of the other relatives)… And what a life… school from 8:30 to 15:30. Then back home and start working till 12 o’clock… No time for him, to play, to do nothing… I told him I will give him my spinning top, and he was so anxious abut it!!!
He had a wonderful smile!
