Boozeless in Karnataka

Imagine Matthieu as an involuntary teetotaler. For the past 48hrs the whole town of Chikmagalur and surroundings (including the restaurant, room-service and mini bar of our hotel) is on an alcoholic dry spell. The reason: election time! Come to think of it this actually sounds like an absurdly wise decision - who would have thought. Or maybe it's just a tell-tale sign of how well the government knows its people?

Certainly not Matthieu, who, on his 2nd day without beer is starting to have rings under his eyes and uncontrollable sudden trembles. Just kidding. This might actually be the coffee... Another day to go and hopefully an ice cold Kingfisher will await us in our luxury suite. Prost!

Matthieu: Can you stop with your blog writing and come to bed? I want to watch my movie.

Iluka: Mama! Mama! Komm her!
