World Cup in Kovalam (Kerala)

The back was packed and the train ticket is ready to take trip tonight 23.43 local time, i was in Kasaragod, the first district in Kerala closely to Mangalore, there was no sunshine in the days, almost every day rain came over this place. iam on my way to Kovalam Beach, one of the best beach in Kerala. finally, after 12 hour journey by train, i reach Trivandrum the capitol of Keralain the morning 07.20, but my destination it was Kovalam Beach it just 14 Km from the capitol city.. i read more about Kovalam beach, there was beautiful beach and view around. and the light house beach could over you anything u want there..
down to light house beach there is one mosque closely to the sea.. that give you wonderfull view and lovely satisfaction.
when i reach to the beach, stand there for a while and start looking for cheapest hotel around the beach, i known that the hotel that far from the beach is gonna be very cheap coz this season was off season. but what i want is stay close to the beach and spend more time in the beach. after roaming around for about an hour, finally i found one hotel it call sea cost hotel closely to Galaxy Bar, the cost just Rs.300 just little bits different from the budget i have Rs.250 per night. the room was very good and more comfort than the other ceapest hotel around the beach. coz this hotel and this such of room gonna be cest Rs.2.000 per night if u rent it in the season.
take a bath and wash my body after spend a night in the train, take some chai (tea) and roaming around and checking every place that was written in the Lonely Planet Book so it take me about 5 hour to take around by walk and that was tired enough..
first day and first night in Kovalam was not so good, try to find a good friend to chatt and move around, first plann to find tv and watch world cup that two big parties are met in the league England Vs Porto, watch this game in the cafe or club. by the end of walk i find a good place t watch a football, one cafe with second floor view to the sea and big screen tv was showing a match, i was there alone and many other foreigner, the cafe was housefull, but i was lucky can find the vacant seat, and some guy are came after me they were four girl one of them is indian and three of them was from USA, they came close to me and say hi, four of them have to stand and watch a game, after a while look at them and ask them if any one want to have seat i'll give mine, but they refused and say thanks but one of the she call herself Kelly hav a good idea, why dont we share the seat for both of us ....i agree.wacth the game drink a coffee and after the game we walk to hotel.. we were walking to the same way so i ask them where do u stay .... Bretta said.. we were at the same hotel with u... that why we came close to u in the cafe ... coz we dont recognise anyone in da cafe except u.. we saw u in the morning checking in da hotel...so thank for the seat Kelly said.. i just give the smile and sleep in my room ...what a good and lucky friend i met for the first day in Kovalam....
the night was very cold and storm winding like a hell... i can hear the sound from sea water struck to the rock around the beach .....boom...
that da first night....
