Malabar Headland

The headland between Maroubra and Malabar beaches has in recent years become a national park, and more accessible to the public. Part of it is still a rifle range though, and not always open. It was the other day though, so I was able to stroll at leisure.

Kerala's fabulous food

There's lots of fresh seafood, exotic fruits and vegetables, beautiful subtle spices, about 37 different types of rice. There are dosas, appams, Malabar biryanis, and there's coconut with almost everything. And yes, there's chilli. I was a bit worried about that at first, but it was never out of control, and usually in visible chunks, so I could remove most of them if I needed to.

This was my fourth visit to India, and not only did I not get sick like I usually do, but I even put on weight for once!
