Takeaway thali for the train
Travelling by train today from Cochin down to Varkala – a four hour journey. Found a lovely veg restaurant which did us a thali takeaway (South Indian Thali Parcel it was called).
delicious and we managed not to spill any!
The restaurant is also part of a hotel and we’re going to stay the for our last couple of nights. Simple but clean rooms with a/c for £26. It’s called OYO Gokul Ottupura. The restaurant is lovely.

Olive oil
There’s nothing tastes quite like Greek olive oil. We usually bring back a 5 litre can from wherever we go Spain, Italy etc but this time we got into olive oil in a big way. I’ve been reading about and starting to follow the Mediterranean and particularly the Cretan diet in which olive oil plays a big role. Everywhere in the Peloponnese people produce their own olive oil every year and use it liberally on just about everything!
I think the the best we tasted came from a lady who had a little shop that sold bits and pieces in the ‘top’ road in Methoni. Unfortunately by the time we used it we’d left so couldn’t get any more, but another year I’d buy straight from her.
Just signs for olive oil at the side of the road and it’s all delicious. So now we’ve got cans and bottles in every storage area and just have to find room for some wine.
And for some food
Especially for Bego
In a delightful restaurant in Napflio.
And then mixed green In the taverna at the tiny hamlet of Fokiano where we stayed on the beach
Methoni
Our third day in Greece and have moved south to Methoni, staying at Camping Methoni recommended by Sian and Phoebus. Definitely our sort of town and our sort of campsite. A relaxed feel and most of the people staying here are Greek. Right by the Sea, here is the view from our van
fabulous!
Went out for a meal this evening and had really interesting food, different to what we’ve had on the islands. Artichoke with peas, green beans (thick runner beans rather than thin beans), leek pie (delicious pastry) and potatoes done in the oven. Wonderful herby tastes of parsley dill and of course oregano. The town has two fresh fish shops so the barbacue is coming out tomorrow.
