Li meet brunch, brunch meet Li

Durand and I introduced Li to our weekly ritual. While we mix up the venue, brunch is a Sunday past time, involving plates of food and wine or martinis (Piazzo).

This week we went to a new one, West View, at the Sheraton. It was up on the roof and what a view. Slightly scary, because you could really see the smog, but nice to be able to look out over a large green area and other parts of Delhi.


The help yourself part was small: cheese, cold cuts, olives, salads. Then came the ordering of 4 courses. I had beet gazpacho, some marinated vege thing, chili prawns, and then shared tiramisu and chocolate mousse with Li for dessert. Oh and lots of champagne, plus a glass of white wine for kicks. The red was bad.






After we headed to the 'Foot Care' massage center for Shiatsu. The massages are decent. Deep, but almost pecking in nature because not enough time is spent. If they slowed down, I'd be very happy. We checked went looking for 'Gandhi' the movie, but they didn't have it, so we got 'Water' instead.

We discovered a chic-ish restaurant next door and got a drink to check it out. The inside was nice, but facing the video provided views of Sbarro, Ruby Tuesdays and some other US restaurant.

On the way home, Durand suggested a night cap, so we headed to the Crowne Plaza, Today Gurgaon for Guiness. Li was amazed at the lifestyle. Note, the last 2 stops aren't typical.

Vizag: clean city by the sea

Visakhapatnam (or Vizag) wasn't on the radar. It is one of the cleanest places we'd been India. I had no idea it was a city in South East India or how to pronounce it. Only learned it existed because when we tried to get our boarding passes in the airport in Sri Lanka to come to India we needed to show an outbound flight. Walking across the boarder to Myanmar wasn't accepted. Next time will remember to book on a site that allows cancellation after 24 hours, but in the early morning panic that didn't happen. Then it turned out to be overly complicated and expensive to cross overland from India to Myanmar, so we decided to use the flights to Kuala Lumpur and come in from the South. Vizag was now in the itinerary. Get there We took a train from Puri to Khurda junction. And then transfered to a sleeper to Vizag. There is a waiting room in Khurda upstairs to charge phones and sit. Eat, drink, sleep - Sree residency was a great spot to sleep. It was cheaper online. G...

Mumbai: Sasson docks and colonial architecture

One of my favorite parts of Mumbai are the Gothic Victorian style buildings that abound the southern part. The Lonely Planet has a walking tour, which we followed part of and it can be combined with a trip to Sasson docks, a bustling fishing port, and Marine drive. To finish off, climb up the intercontinental hotel for a view of Marine drive at night when the Queen's necklace is all lit up. Southern part of Marine drive  There was so much happening at the Sassoon docks: boats being loaded with ice or unloaded of fish, fish being sorted, haircuts, games, children coming from school, and ice being crushed. It was cool to be in the midst of the hustle and bustle. Ice being crushed Loading ice onto the fishing boats Taking a pause from loading ice onto the boat Getting a haircut on the docks Fixing the fishing nets Squid being tossed off the boat Lady strikes a pose Lunch time on the fishing boat Love the brightly colored trucks ...

Varkala: a vacation from being a traveler

After traveling for 5 months, we were both feeling g a bit road weary. I felt like a sea sponge that needed to be wrung out in order to absorb more historically significant, mindblowingly beautiful, culturally complex places. Varkala seemed like a decent spot to do that as Wikitravel notes it as being recently developed for tourism. I would say it's extremely developed as the cliff is packed with guest houses, restaurants, gift shops, clothing shops, money changers, and convenience stores. However, it worked for 3 nights and then we jumped ship to a quieter spot just north where you can still find fishing bungalows and tourists helping the fishermen bring in the nets. Varkala is good for the following - Internation cusines. Some restaurants boast about 5... There are a bunch of Tibetan places that were tasty. Dove into a couple bowls of muesli and huevos rancheros.  Haven't had a coffee like that in months. We spent between Rs. 500-800/meal. Coffee Planet - Fres...
