Houseboat photos and luxury massage

Now that I have comfortably gecko free pants on, I can upload a few photos.

This is an Indian taxi. From what century you might ask?



Here's a few photos of what we floated by on our houseboat trip






Dan was concerned that you might think that we
are getting spoiled here in the lap of luxury. With free cruises and
massages and all Just in case...this is the room he got massaged in.


No soft lighting, new age music or aromatherapy here. The Kerela Ayurvedic massage involves a copious amount of oil with herbs in it (they literally pour it on you.)
The
women aren't even given a sheet (Dan got a little paper loin cloth.) I
gotta tell you, in general, I'm quite comfortable being naked, but
sitting completely nude on a plastic stool and having a large Indian
woman rub oil all over your breasts is a bit disconcerting even for me.

Aloha Lucky pants and Tarzan

The taxi brings back memories of Rapa Nui, where we used every taxi on the island to transport our halau...15 in all.

Double paws to you,

Thinking a bigger tip at Capellos is in order, next time I go for a facial etc.....hey, Deb, isn't it illegal to transport "pets" in your pants!

Stay safe, love..Mom

Description & picture of massage room were enough to convince me that I won't be getting any massages on our visit to India! Gross! Love the picture of the pink elephant in parade & also view from lanai. We are getting excited about trip! Love, Mom
