Paradise part 2

Back in snowy Finland :( The two weeks went past so fast and it feels like it was yesterday that we took a taxi to the airport to leave. This was definitely one of the best vacations I've had and I can warmly recommend India to everyone. It was great to spend quality time with the family and enjoy the sun for a change. I also liked the fact that even though Varkala beach is full of foreigners, it's not as "touristy" as most places and very many of the people there are backpackers. 

The flights took over 20 hours all together (Kochi-Chennai-Brussels-Helsinki) but they went by very quickly watching movies and sleeping.

  

Here are a few more pictures from Varkala:

It was heartbreaking how many stray dogs there were.

My sister and I both bought paintings from this amazing artist.

The fabric stores in India were soo nice and colorful, not to mention super cheap.

This pepper farmer (in Ponmudi, India) gave us coconut water.

Some ritual that took place on the beach every morning.

Maybe it's better not to go see the kitchen of the restaurant you've eaten at on several occasions.

Ewww...

New Year's performance.
This one was pretty interesting..

Our hotel in Varkala.

The food on New Year's was so good.

My family and I went elephant riding..So much fun.

A little one called Shiva.

Anyway, my sister and I started to talk and had a great idea! We thought it would be fun if she would write on this blog too. She's attending school in L.A. and has been living there for about two years now. So, she'll be writing from there while I'm writing from Finland!

My sister, Jennine and me.
