My first four workdays as a waiter have gone by quickly. I've learned many things and my appreciation for the job has increased a lot. It's not always been easy and I've goofed a few orders up so far, but nothing too serious so far.
Yesterday I had the afternoon shift, so I used the morning for surfing. I chose the small beach closest to the board rental place. I'm now pretty sure that I could have chosen better. The waves weren't as big as they were the first two days of my Varkala stay, but they had enough power to throw me off the board more than often enough. The next time I'm going to be a bit more patient with looking for a spot. The interesting feature on this beach was that during the three hours I spent surfing there, at least a hundred locals gave their offerings and dipped at least their feet into the sea. The water on that beach is supposed to wash away your sins.
The next surf morning might be tomorrow, but I haven't quite decided yet. I'll have a look at the forecast later tonight and then see if I can have the afternoon shift again.
It's been extremely hot here. There has been some rain as well and the high humidity gives the weather an extra steaming feature. During noon and early afternoon it's difficult to enjoy outdoors, but luckily there's some hope for cooling down the next days.
