the short version

The first day was spent laying out on the deck in front of the beach, and included a fabulous 2 hour nap that was one of the best naps of my life. Lunch was a pleasant surprise of continental food including steak, fresh grilled fish, steamed vegetables – all the food I’ve been missing in India. The restaurant is right on the water and “our table” which we had for most of our meals the rest of the week was just a few meters from the ocean. There are a few beach areas on the island, one just out our front steps, another by the pool/bar, and a third on the tip of the island where a sandbar extends out and the waves crash into each other.

In short, it was one of the best vacations I’ve had, and the daily activities included laying out on the beach, naps, massages, drinks, eating yummy food – repeat. I’ve decided to leave it at that, since, really, there’s no way to describe how nice of a break it was from my daily life here in Mumbai. The pictures don’t even do it justice, but check them out anyway…
