Trying to help out

Im still at Magda's place. Yesterday I went for lunch with a friend of Susi, Chris. He is Belgian, but has lived here for about 4 years. He has something like an ashram/retreat place and is about to move it closer to Ernakulam. Susi had told me he needed help to move, so I had offered over e-mail to help him.

Lunch was great. We then decided I would meet him this morning to help cleaning the new place, but I was unfortunately a bit delayed so they were almost done when I came.

We then arranged to meet at the bus station around lunchtime, to go to the old place to move the things. However when I got there I could not find him. So I waited 45 minutes in the restaurant we had arranged to meet in (well I think it was the right one???), but he still did not come. So I guess either he has run into some other problems on the way, or I must have been in a totally wrong place. So I guess he will have to move without me. Arranging things in India is not so simple!

Well I can't really do much about it now. I was intending to stay a few days at his new place though?! But Im not quite sure yet. Today I also got some info about a coffee plantation in the Western Ghats, close to Mysore, where I can stay cheaply in nice bungalows and go for great walks in the nearby surroundings. It would be nice with some mountain scenery and air soon. I guess I better make a decision soon.
