Massaging, Boating and the MELTDOWN

Before we left Thekkaky we had our first Ayurvedic message. Cait will have to tell you this story in person but we were slathered with more oil than a Big Mac and super sized fries (I was waiting to be deep fried!). For a very modest culture this was a very immodest experience- I said Cait will have to tell you in person ask her about the loin cloth. We loved our backwater boating experience-we drove to the backwaters near the coast the in land lakes and canals that filter into the ocean. On our private rice boat we cruised for 5 hours had a wonder lunch and sunned and observed the local culture through the backwaters: just a great afternoon.
WELL THE MELTDOWN!- yes it was bound to happen sometime. After the boating, we drove another 4 hours to your ayervedic resort for our 3-day beach and spa retreat. We arrived late and were given the a grungy room about 4 meters square, dirty, with only bare light bulbs etc etc.. Not at all, what we expected for a luxury resort. To add to this our room was next door to the beauty salon, the yoga studio, massage centre and the staff workrooms: the noisiest possible location. The hotel has no interest in assisting us with our complaint so off we went looking for a new hotel with MANY phone calls to the agent in Delhi. Well I now know the hotel and the room I will book for the day after I win the lotto at 700 Euros a night. No we are not at this hotel but after1/2 day found another. The next edition will tell you all about it. Cliff hanger stay tuned!!!
