A Wedding in the Gecko

We did have a big South-Indean Wedding! Manis brother Uma got married on July 1st. The Gecko-Cafe was nicely decorated and looked festive. The shady entrance was incredibly inviting, unfortunatly it cannot stay forever, because the street is to small and big cars got much trouble passing by.







In the entrance there were ceremonies before the wedding every morning and evening.







They young couple looked most beautiful at the typical south-indean wedding and now the young lady belongs to the "gecko-cafe-family".

Here at YouTube you can also find the MOVIE with Mani on the Gecko Cafe,
which was made by Daniel Dietz, a new friend of the Gecko Cafe. Enjoy watching.

Welcome to the Gecko Cafe!




Season: over

Only a view tourists are left, the off-season began early.
That fact obviously could be noticed last week, when the Othavadai Cross Street turned into a huge buliding site. But amazingly fast the whole action of building a new drenage was finished again. One day the whole street opened up, the next day: like nothing happened ever before.

So the way to the Gecko Cafe is free again, no obsticales in the way.

March 18th: road in peace again:



Buildingsite: Othavadai Cross St.: 17th March












60 Visitors at once in the Gecko :

We did have a huge grop of visitors lately. They just came for tea.
No , just joking, there will be a wedding in July, and this was one step towards the preparation for this. All those guests came from a village near Mamallapuram, to checking out the brides new house.






Everybody welcome! The Kitchen-Crew: Baskar, Salim and Ramesh.
