Well Maggie arrived here on Thursday night in the midst of a 3 hour long thunder storm. The lightning was fantastic from the ground anyway! sheet, fork and vertical sheet too! The sound of the thunder was deafening. We had organised a garland for her so she got a taste of India at once and the scent from the jasmine was amazing. Back to the Rockholm for a cup of tea then bed. Yesterday morning, we went for a swim first off then for a wander round the shops, today we booked for an Ayurdevic massage each at11.00 so decided not to swim first... big mistake as it has been tipping it down ever since. Not that that has put some people off, they have swum anyway. I've got a lovely pic of the lifeguards under their umbrella on the beach, surrounded by sea water (the waves are enormous!), in front of an empty ocean with the rain pouring down around them. A quick trip to the shops this afternoon and the internet cafe then this evening we are going to Fusion for dinner. very chilled after the massage. back home to Tirunelvelli tomorrow afternoon.
