Travel & Vacation: Orange County Kabini, India

Matt & Jake in an intense game of ping pong

The kids taking an evening swim in the kids pool before heading back to the hut to crash.

In the evening there is a tribal dance put on by people from the local village.  It was fascinating to watch them.  I was having a hard time getting a picture that wasn’t blurry.  Between the darkness, fire, and constant movement this was the best one I could get of the men who came to demonstrate their traditional tribal dance.

Massive tree at the resort!  If you look closely you can see Jake and Matt standing in front of it.

Leaves, painted rocks, and incense were placed on the edge of the river next to where the people were washing their cattle.  From what we can gather it is some type of ritual that asks a blessing on the cows prior to going into the water.

Amazing cappuccinos at the Kabini library!  What a life, sipping on a sweet drink while watching the sunset.

Amazing kabobs (beef, chicken, shrimp, and lamb) for our dinner the last night at Kabini!

Kids pool and play area, beautiful place!

Found this little guy in the grass near the kids pool.  You never know what little friend you might in encounter in random places, right Matt?!

Jake and David playing a game

Massage anyone?  Matt, Jen, Jake and I got a massage while at Kabini.  Jake and I chose to do a back and leg massage not the full body one since their style of massages were a little different from what we do in the United States.

This little tweety bird decided to fly in and join us for breakfast the last day of our stay in Kabini.  He’s looking to see if we’ll give him any extra crumbs.

Our wild crew!  Goodbye Kabini, it was fun!  Thankful for an opportunity to explore this amazing place with Matt, Jen and their family!
