We woke up early to watch the sunrise, are 7am. We heard the sounds of dawn, fishermen gathering nets.
The breakfast as we'd hoped, the best, omelette, pancakes coconut, chai, fruit. We are already thinking about doing a few more tours with Wilson, Munnar and a national park near Wayanand.
We said goodbye to the lovable crew, as a autorickshaw is waiting to take us to the station to catch our train to Varkala. It is 10:30 h, the trip lasted about 4 hours to change train included. Everything is perfectly normal, until, as always displayed the typical character by what it is, the Indian. In this case had a shrill laugh, held his hand and kept asking questions after the usual implausible, Where you from?, What's your name?. We laughed with what is not written, but fortunately the change train, because it was getting pretty heavy with preguntillas.
We arrived in Varkala station, where a rickshaw took us to the beach, we stayed at the Sun Rise House after visiting a couple of small hotels. The Sun Rise is a very nice hotel at the foot of the cliff overlooking the sea and main beach Papanashar to 2 min, from the restaurant of the hotel have fabulous views.
Direct to the beach to enjoy the sea until we call dinner.

Today we woke up eager to discover the beaches of Varkala, started walking towards Black Beach.
The place is very beautiful, red rock cliffs, the sea was very very clean, waves, palm trees around an environment of very handsome people, people going about their business and enjoy a perfect place.
The walk is long with beaches, palm trees, cliffs. We stayed in a small beach with no name and no one but us to enjoy it.
Later Santy and I decided to go exploring a bit more for the water's edge with a camera in hand. We meet people picking mussels, caganer Christmas nativity scene, postcard beaches and palm trees, many palm trees, it is definitely paradise ...
We spent almost 2 hours between the departure and return, many special photos. Vanesa and Cathrin think that would be concerned about our tardiness, but none of that, the photo shoot are in the middle.
We left the beach without a name n I went to eat, relax, and enjoy a few hours Papanashar environment and the sunset beach of film.
Shower and searching for a restaurant, this time we messed up the bottom, 1h 40min to order food, we had food on the table, it was no big deal, there were complaints and desserts came free, disgraceful, I want to even remember the name.
Good Night ***

Today we started the day with some sadness because we realize that our time in Varkala is ending. And with breakfast in the stomach, we went down to the beach to give their due to the latest waves. Cathrin runs along the beach and Santy and I are drawn into the big waves morning between talks.
The dismissal of paradise is very hard, but time is up to us and we made many good things to come.
We showered and we will enjoy lunch in the restaurant of Sun Rise Hotel, the truth is very good and the dessert super luxury Queen To Hello, Hello To The Queen is hot on the bottom banana, ice cream, half crushed cracker and chocolate syrup all over, buenisimo ...
Fixed all the people in the hotel and set off to see if we get a rickshaw to take us to the train station to catch the train to Kochi.
At the station, we wait about 1 hour by train, but in the end we take an express that will take us less than 4 hours to Ernakulam Town where a driver of our friend and Stanley Wilson will lead us to move to Fort Kochi the night at Wilson.
