Cycling in India stage 41 to Kovalem beach

This was not the prettiest ride of the trip. We rode on state highway 1 through a lot of commercial strips. The road surface was smooth and gently hilly, so we rode fast, and it was Sunday, so we probably had less traffic than normal, but it was nice to arrive at the hotel by the beach.
The beach scene is fun, with local and foreign tourists enjoying the surf and the restaurants. Very resort like.
Throughout Kerala, we saw a lot of Communist party advertising, much of it very old fashioned. Red background, hammer and sickle, pictures of Marx, Lenin and even Stalin.
