Thursday 19th June
So, the electricity keeps going off for several seconds, then restarting. I believe this is due to the monsoon, cutting it off periodically. However, I'm not sure you should be able to see daylight via the power point...
Light switch
Having considered the possibility of renting a car (and driver, haha!) to go see Panaji myself, I decided to continue my break from the thrills of driving and vendor-avoiding in the suffocating humidity, and spent the morning doing the pool/reading thing.
My book, by the way, is pretty crappy. And therefore perfect for holiday reading. It's Labyrinth by Kate Mosse. It tries hard, but doesn't quite make the cut. It needs better editing. And it's making me want to read the real thing again, say Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum. That book had me wanting to scour the occult bookstores for more information, but I was too scared, just in case someone was watching me...
Pool at night
Anyway, after lunch and a bit more pool/reading, it was time for my chocolate body scrub. Which was pretty damn good. Started with my American-Plan-Included sauna (the steam room here is incredible - so steamy you can't see your feet). And 46 degrees. Which is really quite hot.
Then the scrub - not drippingly oily like the Ayurvedic massages are, and now my skin is all soft and chocolatey-smelling. Must look out for more of these when I get home. Or try it myself - though I suspect that would be doomed to failure, if not logistically, then at least in that I'm not sure the chocolate would last long enough to reach my skin.
