A nice cup of ….. in Varkala
(Varkala, India, 11th of Nov 2016)
In India everything is possible.
In Varkala, where we are staying right now, it is really hard to find a restaurant where there is alcohol on the menu. The government has only given permission to sell alcohol to some chosen restaurants as this part of the country, Kerala, have had huge problems with alcoholism. But if you want a beer that is really no big problem as most restaurants serve alcohol anyway,. You will be served the bottle wrapped in a sheet of newspaper or you will get it (as in the pictures) served in a teapot. The price for beer served in these creative ways is twice to what you pay in other parts of India and on top of that the beer is not that cold as you would prefer and the “bubbles” disappear rather quickly.
Except for the fun of drinking beer from a teapot we would not recommend it. Stick to fresh fruit juices and sweet lime sodas!!

Fantastisk blogg Johan & Christel. Hoppas att ni har det bra och att äventyr fyllda med mystik och spänning lurar bakom varannat hörn.
