At the Maharaja's Palace |
It was another tough day at the Spa. For breakfast I had
Dosas that I really like (a South India Breakfast treat – long tubular dough
that is slightly sour). It is often stuffed, I like mine just plain with
chutney.
We were dressed in our whites, it sure is nice to not think
of what you have to wear – but for me in LA I don’t really think about either –
my outfit of choice is always jeans and a tee shirt. Here it is white cotton.
After breakfast we lounged around the pool waiting for our
massages. They actually have a nice boutique, conveniently located between the
pool and spa.
After massages we returned to read by the pool. We then
experienced our 2nd monsoon rain. It arrived at approximately the
same time as the previous days storm and lasted about 30 minutes then the
weather cleared.
We spent some time exploring the grounds and went over to see the Maharaja's Palace. He still visits there. He will be the last Maharaja to rule here, he only had a daughter. Ananda sits on his property. We then returned
to our room to continue reading. Soon it was time for drinks, dinner, packing
for departure from the hotel tomorrow morning, and continuing our Himalaya
adventure. Adanda in The Himalayas is a great place to simply veg out and get
over your jet lag. This morning I slept till 5am, a new record for me!
Tomorrow we depart for the drive to Kumarhatti, a
small town near Solan. We will see what awaits us.
