Day Out At Golden Palms

Thanks to Jesus - for the blessings, love and grace!

We knew about the leave on November 1st and planned for an outing on that day.

Initially, the climate in Bangalore was good enough for a trip - not so hot, but a cool and tempting climate.

Ani suggested shivasamudhram falls and I did the initial research on that place on my favorite website - TripAdvisor. 

Found to be having a lot of good reviews about the place and we confirmed the plan.

But on October 31st the plan seems to be bit uncomfortable, as the cyclon Nilam presented Bangalore with a rainy mood. It rained continuously for 24 hours which made the life to slow down a bit.

I came to know from several sources that the rainy climate would not be a nice place to visit the falls and started thinking of an alternative by 10pm.

Ani slept in between which made me to drop the plan to visit the falls. Did some research in TripAdvisor again and zeroed on Golden Palms Hotel & Spa resort. Not too far from Bangalore and impressed by the beauty -  I called them up for a reservation at 12:30 am - glad that the receptionists were nice and helpful.

Still with the impression that we are heading towards the falls, we started the journey. I did not tell her the plan change. It was a SURPRISE...

Reached the resort and we had a wonderful time out there. Enjoyed the whole day together talking and playing, enjoying the scenic beauty and food (must say -was awesome).

Highlight of the trip - A swim in the biggest swimming pool in Bangalore - All alone with the drizzling rain. 

WHAT AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE...LOVED IT.
