In the last day of the Strings meeting me and my friends we decided to get a massage session. After a week of "intensive" (;D) work I think we merited. Getting a massage here is very cheap and a common practice. The manager of the hotel was encharged to contact the people.
Just before lunch we head to the beach, which is just 5 minutes from the hotel. People are enjoying the water and after sometime the massagists arrive. They are two guys. This a all body massage. Im one of the firsts. He starts from the foot fingers and goes up to my hair and face. He uses some natural oil. I think its from coconut. The massage lasts for 30 minutes and its very pleasant. I was really needing a treatment like this.
Of course I became all oily but I feel lighter and go for a swim in indic waters. The waves are kind of agitated but its safe and the water feels so good.
I forgot to say that the massage only costed 200 rupees or 3 euros!! Good times here!
In the afternoon I had to go to the city to buy a new suitcase. Unfortunately in the flight from Delhi my suitcase got damaged and most probably it wouldn't resist the next flight.
The manager of the hotel arranged for a guy to drive me to the city. We go by motorbike. Im thinking how would I bring the suitcase. The ride is cool eventhough the traffic is chaotic. There's always people crossing the streets, cars horning and cows around. We arrive at the city and I just see chaos!! It is super crowded and smells really bad. I buy my suitcase and then we take a different way back home. We go through the village. The scenario could be shocking if I was not already used to it. That is, people living in very poor conditions, super dirty streets, many animals around and lots of cows. All this in a exoctic background permeated with temples.
It was a good ride. For me it seemed like a real 3d movie with special effects. This is India.
