Summer Season

The last 8 weeks have been sucessful and nice, especially July was a great season month. Unfortunatly in August we did have a lot of rain and therefore less guests coming to Mamallapuram. But the ones who came have been happy in our place and we could take much time for talking and playing.

We are preparing the "French" Saison: cleaning the Gecko completetly, improving the working conditions in the kitchen, new painting and organising.

Planting new trees in the backyard: a mangotree and a lemon tree

The kitchen got a new window and has been re-organised for better and faster cooking in the saison.

OFFSEASON

The tourist-free Off Season gives enough time for cricket. The Gecko-Crew is mostly busy with either watching or playing cricket and the rest of the time: staying out of the mercyless sun... therefore the geckocafe turned into a fine little "cinema".

Only at the weekends they lately started to sell Chicken biriyani to Indian tourists near the Seashore temple, producing big potts with the delicious dish and selling it "to go" for the people.

Busy SEASON

Thanks to the Routard-Guide-Book entrance its really a busy season, although there are less tourists in Mamallapuram this year.
Ramesh and Baskar are the two fulltime-cooks of the season, accompanied with Alex and Muthu in the kitchen. Sometimes they find a minute to serve a original Thali on a banana leaf to guests with this special request.

... and Mani rarely sits on the steps, waiting for guests. Due to the increased request he put is one more table into the room.









While Suman sells successfully hammocks in many different colors to his customers ...

2nd Year of the Gecko Cafe successfully finished

Today is our 2nd Birthday. Two years ago we started downstairs with only a few tables but much passion. So many things have happened until now. We want to thank all our friends and supporting people as well as our faithful guests for a great time and we promise to keep on doing our work with heart and soul, as it is in the character of the Gecko Cafe anyways.
