Weekend in Kabini

Aaron and I enjoyed a weekend escape the past few days and it was so great to get away together and relax!  We traveled to Kabini, India which was about a 5 hour drive from Bangalore.  We stayed at a beautiful small resort called KAAV Safari Lodge.  Everything there was so great.  The food was delicious and our room was unbelievable!  Here are a few shots of our luxury "tent" and the hotel pool.  





On Friday afternoon we went for a bike ride through the town and saw some amazing people and views!





Saturday we did a nature walk and a coracle boat ride in the lake.  A coracle is a small light weight boat made mostly of bamboo that sits on the water rather than really in the water!  It can be a bit unstable but our guide was great and had clearly been using these boats for a long time! The boats used to be for transportation but are mostly now a tourist attraction! At the end he spun us in a circle really fast and I was sure I would throw up or fall out but he did not speak any english so we just hung on tight! Kind of like being on a ride at the Minnesota State Fair!  It was still fun to ride out in the water a bit and we didn't fall in!






We also went on a safari but most of those pictures are on the other camera so I will post pictures of that another day!  But here are two of the jeep we took around Nagarhole National Park.



And one last scenic shot!  Such a beautiful place to see!
