It was our wedding anniversary on Saturday and in celebration of that, and our arrival in India we took ourselves off to Fishermans Cove for a well deserved relax. It would have been a whole lot more relaxing if we'd been on our own and there had been no tantrums but, you take the rough with the smooth don't you? DD is definately feeling the effects of Culture Shock and we are bearing the brunt of it. She is missing her friends and cousins aswell and I just wish I could make it all better for her overnight but it'll take time and alot of sympathy, me thinks.
Anyway, take a look http://www.tajhotels.com/Leisure/Fishermans%20Cove,CHENNAI/
It was a gorgeous place, quiet, beautiful deserted beach, good food, lovely pool. We stayed in a beachfront villa complete with family size hammock and the kids finally seemed to overcome their jet lag and were both in bed for 7.30 so we enjoyed dinner on the terrace with the sound of the waves (the sea is pretty rough at the moment probably the approaching monsoon season). The sobering thought was that this coastline was the only part of India that bore the brunt of the Tsunami.
After a lazy late breakfast we took a walk along the beach, albeit not very far as DS soon got tired out from walking on the sand and we caught the attention of some hawkers! After check-out we took a drive along the coast and then visited some fellow company ex-pats for some top-tips and chocolate cake.
We'll definately be heading back to Fisherman's Cove for a bit of R&R away from the City. It's only an hour away and is a little oasis.
