Meditation, Waterfalls and Nilgris Ice Cream

Jordan and Graeme reporting in:

Today was a very eventful day of our India journey. Breakfast consisted of Tutti Fuiti French toast which was an experience of its own. We then headed off towards the temple which took one hour to reach. This temple wasn’t like most temples. First off, it was non denominational (no religion of choice), also it’s sole purpose is for meditation. The temple itself consisted of a dome with magnified sound and a black rock in the middle. This rock was supposed to create vibes and energy to enhance meditation. We all walked in and found individual cubbies in the wall of the dome, see picture. We then attempted to meditate for 20 minutes, which for those of us who were trying to suppress coughs and other bodily functions (Cardinal) seemed to last like a day. Others were much more successful at meditation.
After, we thought it was time for some fun and we headed off for a waterfall. The waterfall was absolutely beautiful and we began to explore it climbing up the rocks. Soon after, an old man wielding a stick came and started yelling at us in Tamil to get down from the waterfall. We then began our decent down and made it safely to the bottom (except Graeme who experienced some minor setbacks). Medved being the lazy person he is, decided that it would be a lot quicker to slide down the waterfall instead of actually walking down it. In the process his wedding ring went astray causing us all to gasp and frantically search the pool. Luckily for Medved, the water parted and all the light shone down on the ring – sort of. He found the ring and all was well.
We then headed to Nilgiris for lunch (Coimbatore's best grocery store & cafe), stopping along the way to pick up some sandals for Tahira, who seemed to have misplaced hers in the falls. After an excellent lunch and a short shopping trip we headed back to our homes to take some nice cold showers and discuss Medved’s potentially devastating trip to the waterfall and the days adventures.
Until next time, this is Graeme and Jordan signing off.
