While most of our group stayed in the plantation house we were given private quarters for our exclusive use. While the house was really lovely, our quarters were completely unique and provided a really fun adventure.
We got to camp, but in a very civilised way. We had a huge tent with a proper floor, beds, a table and lots of room to move around in. As it was so warm we didn't need to shut the tent up at night and we could lie in bed looking at all the stars, then, when it began to get light, all the flowers on the hillside outside.
But the really amazing bit, that made the experience for us, was our bathroom. We had our own bathroom in an adjacent building. The toilet and washbasin had a roof over but the shower was completely open air. The shower fittings were built into the rock face, we stood on a floor of pebbles and we shared the shower with a giant fern. It was fantastic, even though the shower was bracing (no hot water, but there again Indian showers are about cooling down, not warming up).
We got a bit of a shock when we went to use the toilet and found a big frog inside. I suppose it went with the open air washroom experience! We were racking our brains trying to think of a few words of frog to ask it to leave, when it decided to jump out. We could then uncross our legs and use the facilities.
