The hotel we are staying in is a small boutique hotel with a total of twelve rooms. We counted today and think maybe four of them are being used including us. The reviews of this place on trip advisor said that the staff is friendly and personable. After breakfast, the owner introduced himself. From the email exchanges with Stewart, he was able to comment on how the weather is different from New Delhi's. After we spoke with him, we sat down with the hotel manager to discuss the hotel and things happening in the areas. We decided that we would probably stick close to the hotel today and venture out tomorrow.
We walked down to the beach to check out the water. Little Man does not like the ocean! He started crying when the waves came near him. He was kinda okay when I held him but any chance of me standing him in the stand were nil. Poor little guy. We'll try again tomorrow. He might just need some time to warm up to it.
We got back go to the room and changed into our swimsuits. The room we booked has a private pool right outside the patio door. Makes vacationing with a baby so much easier! We got in and played around for a little while. The water was perfect. The pool is shaded by the building so we were also out of the sun which is great for our pale selves! We sat in the sun for a couple minutes afterward. Little Man loves watching everything happening around him.
After our swim, we relaxed in the room while Little Man snoozed away. I think all of the fresh air has been great for him. We actually can see a blue sky here! I haven't seen that since we were in the states in November. And there isn't any visible pollution. It's great. We have to keep Little Man indoors for the majority of the day in New Delhi because the air quality is so bad. We are enjoying every minute of being outside here.
At lunch, we had some tasty seafood. I can't remember the last time we had that. Little Man spent the whole time making faces at the staff and playing with a water bottle. There's just so much to see here. He doesn't mind sitting and just watching. We went down to the ocean again and played around the big rocks and let Little Man watch the waves come in and out.
Then we headed back to the room where Little Man crashed hard for his afternoon nap! We headed to dinner which was fantastic! It was a several course meal. We had salad, soup, a salt and cucumber sorbet (interesting..), a filet (real beef!), and dessert/fruit. It was soo good. One of the waiters came over to hold Little Man while we ate. Then another hotel worker (I think maybe manager too?) came and took him. He's expecting his first baby soon and said watching Little Man was practice. Unfortunately, Little Man has reached the age where he's a little scared of strangers. The lady at the table next to us also wanted to hold him. The crazy part is Little Man was never acting up when these people took him! I think they all just wanted to play with him. After dinner, we let Little Man take a swim in the massive tub in our room. He loved it!
This is what the view from our room looks like right after sunset..
We're going to venture out tomorrow so hopefully I have something interesting to write about!
