13 January

Another day another beach, this one is called Kudle beach, it was a bad day at the office regarding health and hygiene, while in the beach restaurant we noticed that the curtain used to separate the kitchen from the restaurant had multiple uses by the kitchen staff, it doubled up as a hand towel, face towel and wait for it, wiping the plates prior to the meal being plonked on it. scary stuff.

We have come to realise that the religious towns come with a higher percentage of cows in the street per meter, which means  a sharp eye is required when walking the streets not to mention the sea water blueless flag quality, it has to be off the EU directive richter scale.

That said, the highlight of the day was a fun sunset ride back to town from Kudle in a local fishing boat .

Meanwhile back at our homestay, the adjacent building under construction was having a first floor concrete slab poured, forget your redimix truck, this India style system involved a human chain of around thirty men and women hauling pans of concrete hand over hand up a scaffold tower to complete task, job done.
