Uli's tan

You’ll be pleased to know that I didn’t make a further spectacle of myself in my remaining time in Varkala. The sun was booming on our last day so Fish and I went to the beach. I nearly fell down when I saw Uli sitting there. Uli NEVER goes to the beach. I think it may have to do with his new love interest. She is a beautiful Algerian girl (whose name sounds like Petula but isnt). She’s a fan of the beach so it seems that Uli may get a tan after all. I really hope he gets lucky. I have such a fondness for him. It would be nice if he got his nuts in.

On our last night we went to a bar to watch a live band (but they never showed up. Much like the firework display we went to the previous evening that had NO fireworks). Uli came along, followed by Petula (that’ll have to do I’m afraid) and then later Mel joined. Mel is reading another hard going book. This time it’s about emotional intelligence. After a long discussion he admitted that he’s reading it in the hope of getting laid. I think he thinks it may give him an insight to the mind of a chick. Bless his heart. I told him if he stops reading soppy books, stops over anaylizing things (it took him about 8 minutes to figure out his next move when we played connect 4) and starts having some fun he’ll probably be beating them off with a shitty stick.

We all had a discussion about books (in particular The Alchemist, which I’m not a fan of, in case you wondered). It was bordering on being a bit pretentious and wankey when someone asked Uli if he’d read it. He gave my favourite reply of the whole trip when he said “how many pages has it got. Anything over 150 pages and I’m not really interested”. It’s still making me giggle now. I will really miss Uli. I actually felt quite emotional when it was time to leave. I am completely ready to go home and have no regrets in leaving Varkala but it feels like the end of an era to say goodbye to the boys. I had some really good times with them. It is a massive shame that Anand and Cina weren’t there to make the little gang complete. I miss Cina shit loads. We probably won’t get a chance to see each other again in India but she will be coming to London in a few weeks.  I can’t wait. Lock up your sons!!.

As sad as I was to say goodbye to the boys I was super excited to get to Kovalam to the posh hotel. I am so in need of a bit of luxury (I’m so very precious). It has been made abundantly clear that I am not set out for the life of a traveller. I am ready for my slippers and pipe (alright, I might have been exaggerating about the pipe). I am done with living out of a bag and smelling like a bin lady (Are there bin ladies? I’ve never met one but I imagine if I did I would smell exactly the same). Bring on the pampering.
