Beach jam

Yesterday morning we woke up early to go to a yoga class but no one showed up so we decided to do some yoga on our own. The place is very nice on a roof terrace surrounded by palm trees with coconuts, perfect place to do yoga! After that we had a lovely breakfast, the mint tea and the fruit juice consisting of simply squeezed fresh fruit are amazing! My favourite ones so far are mango or pineapple! We spent half of the day at the beach which was nice then we took a taxi to nearast ATM as there are none in Arambol and I have to admit the culture of driving is just crazy! As I said earlier about Mumbai they are beeping their way through and being very risky sometimes and pass each other on small margins, but I guess they are use to it and know how to drive that way! In the evening we had a very yummy dinner at the beach watching the sunset (grilled kingprawns in lemon juice YUMMY and it was the most "expensive" meal I've had so far meaning 30kr (3 pounds), god I love this place! After our dinner we went further down the beach where a lot of people had gathered around a bonfire jamming with lots of different instruments and singing. The people varied from small children to old people, some were high, others drunk, some sober and others just listening or dancing to the magical music! I loved it you just sit there and listen and its amazing how they haven't even met before but yet can jam the way they do! After that we just chilled by the beach huts and I finally feel that my body is completely calm, it is so relaxing to be here and just let go of problems and bad thoughts.

Today we started off with yoga again and then we met up with Indie and his friend Dan from Australia who took us to the next beach around the cliffs. It is called sweet lake and has a lake that follows into a jungle forest were we saw monkeys which was cool! Deep in there there is also a special mud in the lake that we covered ourselves in as it is really good for your skin! A natural spa in the middle of a lake surrounded by beautiful nature, can't get a better spa experience than that really :) We wandered full of mud back to the beach and had a swim to get if off, now my skin feels so nice and smooth! After that we had another great lunch and a dessert that is called hello to the queens which consists of crushed biscuit, chocolate, nuts and ice cream pretty good!

Tonight we're going to watch the bonfire again and listen to the jamming :) I'll try and put some pics very soon!
