Thinking of last Summer Vacation

Here we go again.

Summer gets under way ,Its already there for some:)

I know that summer has arrived when there are butterflies in the garden and sweet tea in the fridge.

Nostalgia aint what they used to be :)

Thoughts of Summer take me back to my summer vacations in school.

I really can't believe[time flew by so fast]it seems only yesterday.

Now my memories are just there at the last much awaited last summer vacation.

Once a year, we go to Kerala to enjoy long swims, great reads, long walks, fabulous food and good laughs with friends and family. Basically, it is a time to rejuvenate and recharge.

Last summer in Kerala ,we had been to Estuary,a unique paradise of breathtaking beauty,South of Kerala,Trivandrum.

Estuary is one among the natural wonders where the Lake, River, Sea and Beach meet the land, is situated adjacent to the Poovar Island; a rare find in Kerala, the southern state of India. Enveloped by the most serene backwaters and opening out to the Sea and a dream golden beach, Estuary Island Resort will carry away you to a new world.At Estuary Island Resort, the experience is at its most perfect - the pristine natural beauty of an 'estuary'. One of life's very special experiences....Let me take you to the tour of the Estuary Island.

Way to the Estuary island,at a distance you can see the sea.During high tide and monsoon the sea and lake becomes one.Water enters the island.Its closed on those days.

Children playing in the beach just across the island.This side is the sea and the boat is in the lake.It takes hardly five minutes from the resort to the beach.
