Ayurveda Massage

We all enjoyed our ayurveda massages although they were a little more personal than I expected!!

Our relaxing accomodations

This morning we headed to Thekkady, passing through rubber plantations, and tea gardens on the mountains.

Tea Plantation

We had a fantastic guide for our spice plantation visit and learned so much about the spices, how they grow, how they are used in cooking, as well as their medicinal purposes. We had fun shopping for organic spices at the plantation.

Vanilla Plant

The rest of the group enjoyed a Marshall Arts presentation and shopping in the village.

I have been rather tempted to break into my spice collection for medicinal purposes, as I have officially contracted the "India Condition". I guess that is all part of travelling in India. I have taken the day off to recuperate and have started a round of antibiotics so hopefully I will have improved by tomorrow. It is nice having a fellow traveller who is a doctor! Only Donni and Bridgit have come through unscathed!
