Before we say farewell to Goa we will recap our day... 7 am mantras in the Arabian Sea, on to Anjuna with Simon our wonderful driver who safely escorted us to our destination, stopping at many ATMs along the way, all out of cash! Our first stop was the Crystal vendor who was located across the way from the German Bakery. He mined his own gems, indigenous to the area. Needless to say our bags are a little heavier (more about that later!). We then moved on to the bakery which we arrived at by 12:30 and didn't leave until 4! We were stuck in a time warp. The energy was unbelievable. We met an interesting gentleman named Paul who told us his story. Off to Yoga Magic (thanks Sara), which eluded us for 40 minutes causing the three yoga teachers to be late for class (Jean stayed behind to enjoy the Arabian Sea). Thankfully it was pranayama and restorative! Just what the doctor ordered. Afterwards we had a tour of the facilities and enjoyed our lassies. After prying ourselves away we took our lives in the hands of Simon who managed to navigate us back to the hotel.(if you know anything about India's roads at night, they are particularly treacherous). We joined Jean for dinner and off to sleep because we were waking up for a 5:30 am pick up.
Off to the airport we go! We thought all was well, our guide was so helpful, but then... Our luggage weighed too much! So by the skin of our teeth and many re- packings later we made the plane (they actually held the plane for us, that would never happen in NY), thank you Kingfisher Airways. We connected in Bangalore where we got on that plane with little issue and are writing you now from our hotel in Cochin. Together we made the executive decision to ship our excess baggage home! We spent three hours in DHL. We had to write a manifest of each item! In 4-5 days a big yellow box will arrive at Om Sweet Om with our stuff! We're off to bed, sightseeing in Cochin tomorrow! Namaste
So cool! Love the photos!!
