India -Day 14 - Thursday 17th November

We got up slightly earlier today as I had a massage booked for 9am. This was a general body massage which involved a lot of hot coconut oil being poured onto my body, then being energetically rubbed in by two ladies.
Then it was the hard work of lying in hammocks reading for the rest of the day. We skipped lunch completely, then had a cup of tea from the barrow at 4pm, accompanied by a couple of little snacks.

For dinner we had the buffet option in the main restaurant, which was surprisingly good. The southern indian prawn dish served with rice noodles was particularly good, as were the fried calamari and prawns being cooked with large amounts of flame at one end of the dining area.
I tried one dish, a bitter gourd concoction and really didn't like it. Next thing we knew the executive chef hurried out to apologise to me. A nice touch, and it showed the staff all talk to each other.
Bed early, all that inactivity can be very tiring.
