Heatwave in Kerala!: The sun is scoldingly hot here even under parasols and whilst on the beach we all got surprisingly pink around the edges yesterday. And then the storm came. Fork lightening flashed across the sky illuminating the sea, thunder cracked, rumbled and roared overhead and the heavens opened washing away the heat, dust and seaview. All hopes of a hot drink were dashed as the electricity flashed on and off and candles were given out. Our cafe quickly filled with bedraggled tourists happy to find shelter as we all holed out here late into the evening until the storm passed away.
