Shiny, polished and flattened

This title refers to our Ayurvedic treatments today. Tina, Gail and Maria had a massage where they hung from a rope and used their feet, Jean stuck with the old standby, foot and leg massage. The experience of Ayurveda here is not like the US. A lot of oil is involved. From the crown of the head to every last crevice of the body.

We did very little today. It was a rest, relax, replenish day. Tomorrow we are off to Pune. It's a long travel day.

Of course what day would be complete without our helping the local economy? Gail had pillow cases made by the local tailor for a very, very reasonable price. Maria bought a beautiful tourmaline necklace from a wonderful vendor named Kumar who wants to marry for love(he's 26). Tina and Maria had a personal photo shoot with the head gardener here. It was a hazy lazy day. We did however manage to pack up and re-distribute our bags so that each one weighs less than 20 kg (the required domestic weight here, which is a problem when you start 24 kg at the beginning of your trip).

After being polished and flattened our auras look like the pictures below.
