We've been here in India for seven weeks and are both feeling really relaxed. Many of our friends have gone home but we still have three couples who are with us til 17th. All have said 'well that's it back to reality' but this is reality! Anyone would think this is a fantasy world!? We have spent our time enjoying the warmth of both the weather and the Indian people.Day to day living is interesting. Our fridge packed up yesterday and Zivan our landlord got a repairman out. In between time to stop the butterscotch crunch ice cream melting he took it upstairs to some Russians who graciously gave it is back - himself speaks fluent Russian you know .
Last night some local Indian friends came round for a cup of tea, yes really. Suku and John came over with some Chicken Xacuti and for dessert pancakes filled with coconut and cinnamon. Suku bought me some Kashmiri chillis and himself her homemade masala mix & a bottle of homemade wine. Himself made some Indian style bubble & squeak to go with it
I've been sleeping like a log
Getting 9 hours straight through, rather than my usual 5 - 6. I put it down to the mattress on the bed being made of coir which is coconut husks. Apparently it aids sleep. I remember a customer at Mikes Bedshop asking about them as he and his wife had got the best nights sleep in Thailand on a coir mattress.
