Another Palolem Pic



I liked Palolem; it was as though the Beach God decided to demonstrate what he could do to design a perfect beach without the blazing white sand or turquoise/crystal water of the travel agency cliches, and the overall effect, I think, was gorgeous. It still had the coconut-tree-lined crescent of sand and the water temperature pitched somewhere between heated swimming pool and bathwater, but it also came with a little island you could climb around at low tide, and a backwater filled with wildlife - kingfishers, herons, monkeys, fish - which made for a nice little cruise.

We'll get more pictures up of Palolem and Varkala, as well as the Kerala backwaters, in the next few days.
