My friend, Nicola, and I went to the upscale hotel down the street from me to relax at their pool. For the reasonable fee of Rs 200 (under $4) they furnish towels, lounges, and a bathroom with shower. You can order food from the kitchen, which they deliver poolside. Yes, a bit of luxury is great once in awhile!
On the grounds live 3 Sulcatta tortoises with the most interesting design on their back. It actually looks like small pyramids! Late afternoon they feed them cucumbers and tomatoes. They are ready to eat as soon as dinner is served!
