Yesterday, the owner of Panchami Lodge, our current residence opened a magical door to a special room containing a water heater and a western toilet!! This morning the hot water combined with tears of joy to provide the best shower Ive ever had.
The whole weeks been pretty exciting. The other day we were taken to a new eatery by a new intern whos working here and is from the area. While the decore was simple to say the least and I stepped in a large cow pat right in the middle of the doorway with only flip flops on, the authentic South Indian cuisine served on a banana leaf and eaten without cutlery more than made up for my misfortune/stupidity.
Then Pratik, the second intern left for home and a job in Delhi. A very sad moment and as both our room buddies and guides had left. It sunk in that evening that me and Rushil are on our own now but thanks to our guides useful advice and help I think we'll be ok (especially now we have hot water!)
This weekend myself and Rushil also made the two hour rollercoaster ride into Mangalore and on to Ullal beach where apart from the thunderous waves we found a level of peace in the Summer Sands resort which contrasted so dramatically with the general exciting hustle and bustle of India's streets.
Im also feeling very happy and comfortable with my project and Anand has announced a plethora of other things to keep us busy which also involve a fair amount of travel so that we can see a bit of the region.
Pictures of the shower to follow!
