The room with the best view

It wasn't until the morning of 10th Nov that we had realised how we had been pampered. My repeated calls to the resort reiterated the fact that a wheel chair would be required and we needed to be as close to the dining area as possible.

Room No. 201: The first glimpse as we raised the blinds.











The room was fabulously positioned.








Steps led past our room to the swimming pool and dining area.











The foreign guests lounged on deck deckchairs reading, tanning themselves periodically entering the pool for a couple of lengths before settling for a beer at the sunken bar.


Non of the other rooms could boast of a view like ours.
Tiffins - the dining area overlooked the pool.
Lastly the floating cottages by the jetty.
The sun set upon Poovar and the kite whistled overhead.








A splash of an oar and a father and his boys make their way home for dinner.





The Swedish group on their 2 month Ayurveda adventure end their day with yoga. The chant of 'Satya satya satya' and fragrance of sandalwood fill the beach front.
