Day 17 Tues. Dec. 4

We are just about 45 min. outside of Chenai on the Bay of Bengal at our seaside hotel called, "Fisherman's Cove.  The village, just down the beach, has about 5000 people and is called Longcove.  Most of the men in this town work at fishing.  One of those men also works at our hotel on the beach as the lifeguard.  His name is Selvam and he took care of us on the beach while the rest of the group traveled to find the water temple.  Rob, Sue, Kathy, Milla and a few others in our group just wanted to relax at the hotel using the beach, the pool, and the other facilities at this beautiful tropical hotel.  We will always remember the great food here, the beautiful pool, and the wonderful beach.  Tomorrow, we travel into Chenai for a city tour, afternoon/ evening rest at the Chenai hotel, and then fly home, leaving at 1:30 a.m.
