As soon I reached the place '
There was coconut water for a welcome '
The place so clean and beautiful
Visualising could something like this be heaven ?
As I walked towards my cozy room
Plants made me evergreen '
The sweet fragrance touched my heart
I was loving everything that I was seeing !
At first the bathroom scared me
As it had no roof '
The typical bricked walls surrounding
And in between the banyan tree standing aloof !
''Lunch time'' my stomach ordered
And off I went for a meal '
I was confused what to eat
As there was everything from south indian to chinese !
I had a relaxed evening
By doing a yoga class held by them '
Even though my body ached
I felt I'd spoken to my soul within !
Along with the other activities they kept
Like water cruises'cooking classes and dance '
Seeing the sunset and the scenery
I'd fallen in love again in a glance !
To add to the comfortable stay
Was the warm and friendly staff of heritage resort '
I've had the best vacation so far
Alas ! to get back to bombay ' from there I had to part !
So dear friends of mine
Are u planing a holiday or a honeymoon '
just give a thought to this place like heaven '
the beautiful backwaters of'coconut lagoon ' !!!!!
This place is situated 78 kms from cochin ! After travelling half way by road one has to take a ferry to reach to the resort !
The other places that you can visit :-
1)Philipkutty's farm :- A farm which has crops pf spices like nutmeg ' pepper ! ofcourse the coconut ' the banana and the cocoa ! along with these are fruits like guava ' mango ' pineapple ' cherries 'pappaya which one finds in abundance ! I was told that there are 38 kinds of bananas !
For a visit to this farm one has to pay !

I had personally taken a medicinal steam bath which really relaxed me ! Even though the prices are on the higher side it is worth every penny you pay !
so like I said '
So dear friends of mine
