Top 10 India 🌴🌞🌺🐘🙏🐒

The first part of my sabbatical trip has come to an end, India. It was so good to begin my trip in this country, as I have reloaded new energy; enough to spend the next 11 month full of adventures.

Here are the Top 10 of this trip:
1) My first experience flying on an upper deck of an A380-800 with Emirates
2) The people I have met at Somatheeram and herewith the beginning of new friendships
3) The Song ‘Namah Shivaya’ by Krishna Das. A song with indian rhythms, beautiful
4) The different places we visited. The temple celebration was a new experience, beautiful and spooky at the same time
5) The farewell dinner with the girls in Kovalam. It was so good to have some fish instead of an Ayurveda dinner
6) The Ayurveda massages
7) The Gallery Shop with its treasures from the Tibet and northern India 
8) My favorite dish for breakfast, Wheat Ada with Papaya and Appam with Bananasteam
9) The beautiful landscape of Kerala, the ocean and palm trees
10) Sounds silly: the air condition. That was such a relief after these hot temperatures 
 
India, hope to see you soon!Bild

Good Bye India

It was nice to see you again!


Kovalam Beach

Ein herrlicher Strand mit lauter netten Shops und Restaurants. Hier bin ich ‘schwach’ geworden und habe mir einen Choco Coco Pancake gegönnt, herrlich (wegen der Ayurvedakur ja eigentlich verboten)!


Temple Celebration

Temple Celebration

We were so lucky to attend a Krishna Temple Celebration. A mix of Bollywood, Oktoberfest, Disneyworld and a lot of Voodoo Rituals. Amazing and spooky!


Sin palabras!

Estando en un paraíso como este, no significa estar en una burbuja; lamentablemente no. Como quisiera tener un mundo ‘happy’ lleno de alegría, harmonía y sobre todo con mucha paz. Nuevamente me di cuenta que esto no existe. La noticia de Boston me dejó sin palabras, con mucha rabia y tristeza. Como es posible que en el maratón más tradicional del mundo suceda esta tragedia cuando debería haber alegría. Mis pensamientos están con esta ciudad tan bella. Espero que el próximo domingo en Londres habrá más fuerza y alegría… Se lo debemos a Boston. Namaste!
