Catch a Wave During the Dog Days of India

Breakfast at La Exotica Home Stay was similar to the breakfasts that have been served at all of the home stays. An egg fried into a round flat omelette, along with toast and milk coffee. We have decided that tomorrow we will try one of the places at the top of the cliff.

The waves today were large and I spent a good amount of time swimming and body surfing. I am sure that I ingested my yearly quota of sodium in just one day. The pack of wild dogs on the beach kept us entertained. Watching how they interacted, and how people reacted to them was very interesting. Two of them decided to hunker down beneath our beach chairs for an afternoon snooze in some shade. (I'm sounding like Caesar Millan)

Today we met 13 people that we have met during our travels in other cities. It was good to catch up with them and trade stories of what has happened since we last saw each other. Some like us are coming to the end of their adventure while others still have months left to explore other parts of India. It is amazing how many people are dedicating 6 months to travel....and these people are not retired. That being said if you don't spend a lot of time in the big cities like Delhi or Mumbai you can live here much much cheaper than you can at home.

I have included below a short video from the cliff that I took while searching for a good cup of coffee. I have actually drank more tea here than coffee as it tends to taste much better than the coffee.

Two more sleeps then a whole whack of airport and plane time.
