Soon after we embarked on our activities, that involved some display of some athletic abilities as we clambered up trees, and zipped through the forest on lines. A few actually signed up for more than the challenge they could digest, and there was a feeling of adrenalin rushing through the body after the relaxing drive.

We made arrangements with the local caretakers of the resort for a sit out besides the serene lake and below giant trees that were teeming with monkeys - who were quite well behaved but looking for an invite to join us for our session. Two bottles of gin disappeared along with a dozen cans of lime soda in a matter of 3 hours that was peppered with Sufi songs mainly and everyone had the opportunity to play their favourite numbers too. Lunch was served which was adequate after which some of us relaxed and others got back to music and some photo opportunity across the beautiful landscape. We also had the opportunity of getting into the water in a coracle ride and we brought to close a day filled with simple unfiltered joy.

Everyone started back through some very unclement weather and second guessing the routes back home through the constant rain. Thankfully, through the safe driving skills exhibited by the vehicle owners we reached back to our respective destinations before 11 PM.

Bringing to a close a wonderful day surrounded by lush nature, enveloped by ethereal music and through lots of giggling, laughing and having a great time - much needed break in our respective busy lives !!

Till the next one !!

Ciao
