Why not and R-E-L-A-XXXXXX

From the moment we arrived at Coconut Lagoon (by boat), we were relaxed. We were greeted with flowers and fresh coconut water in the coconut. Rooms weren't ready so we made ourselves familiar with the property and booked our Ayurvedic treatments. We had a wonderful lunch and then moved into our bungalows with beautiful outdoor shower and bathroom. We had Ayurvedic treatments by the tiniest women. They were still quite powerful despite their size. Hung out in the hammocks and watched a glorious sunset. Dinner with a beautiful buffet and live classical Indian music. Off to bed, so we can get up early for yoga.

So that's where relax... Comes from, it was a lovely fundamental class with the sweetest teacher who sing songed us into every pose, and while in the US it would be annoying it was perfect here. Bird watched, butterfly watched, watched dosas being made, pool time, more Ayurveda and sunset cruise. Dinner with our favorite waiter Febin (whose answer to every request was "why not?") and now our post before we are I unreachable because we will be on a houseboat tomorrow night. (oh and btw Maria is better!)So until next time, namaste

  1. What an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience for all of you. Thanks for the "you are there" commentaries so those of us stuck here can live vicariously through your travels. Keep it coming! We look forward to hearing about what each of you have experienced & learned about yourselves in classes when you are back. I've found that the time away during travel (even in my case to exotic rural Michigan) gives perspective and often helps me see a different side of things when I'm back.
