Apologies for our tardiness. It has been non stop since we left Amala. Our departure was tearful, both our students and the home children were very emotional. Promises were made to return, especially after the amazing send off we received. The girls in sarees and boys in lunghis, watching a "cultural programme".
Our twelve hour train journey down to kerala was surprisingly pain free. Fortunately this year we had a sleeping carriage meaning many of us were unconscious for the vast majority of the journey.
Now we are in Kovalam, we've had a few days to relax. I personally invested in a four hand massage, others spent their money in western food and gifts for loved ones. Today we went elephant riding and visited Varkala beach, sadly some of the students are suffering from stomach upsets so the day has been quite tough for a few.
Tonight we are holding out own Amala 2012 awards, watch this space to hear the winners and losers. Tomorrow will be an earlier start, off to Allepey to spend an evening on a rice boat. It will be nice to just stop and take in all we have done, achieved and experienced over the past few weeks. I shall upload some pictures of our journey through Kerala.
