Timber Lake Hotel Kodaikanal

... half there, shivering now with a headache and in a bad state. So far it has not been a good start. I talk to the owners who then take a look, claiming it was out of gas and that now there ought to be hot water. Relieved and still frozen, I turn it on and see steam. **********taining my excitement I jump back in and continue with the process when... The water turns cold again. Cursing, I just bite my tongue and finish, at this point raging. I get the ass towel (why must it smell ...

... trip management to let us have a late checkout the next day). We have a a lovely day yomping through the most amazing scenery. Kodai is full of eucalyptus tress (that have silhouettes like cowslip) and gum trees, and black pepper, raspberries and lemon balm grow everywhere. Its nature in all its wonder, (Wez, you need to get here and tree perv) and I'm in heaven taking pictures. The cloud rolls in and encloses you in misty solitude, then it rolls ...

... zwischen den Huetten betraegt 5 - 20 gehminuten, es gibt eine Kueche mit einem Koch, der seines gleichen noch lange suchen wird. jeden tag etwas anderes und immer sehr gut. Einer der beiden besitzer baut nach 12 jaehriger suche endlich sein lang ersehntes haus aus autoreifen ebenfalls an einem hang des berges mit atemberaubender aussicht. Sein partner ist ein sadhu und nicht ...

... as the night went on, visits to see my now good friend the toilet becoming more and more frequent and less and less predictable, prompting a few mad dashes to release the now semi liquid movements. Next morning i knew i was in for a rough day, but thankfully i managed a short though very uneasy walk to buy some crackers, feeling like death and looking white as a sheet. At this point i was still optimistic i would be leaving ...

... that found the most attention is a harmonica, and even if the tune is not quite recognizable yet, the passion is already there. Myra of course took most to a princess dress which she wanted to wear all day, and only with lots of convincing could we change her into some more suitable outdoor clothing as we are about to visit some friends for Christmas day. - I hope you too enjoy Christmas just as our kids do, and have found a special gift under the tree! For Ulrike and me ...

... felt especially strange). But among other things we got these red spots in our faces painted as thanks, we were given incsence sticks, and Julie even recieved a ring of flowers. Especially the flowers were to play an important art later that evening. A few hours later we found ourselveds outside a hindu temple in Bangalore and hear that something was going on inside. We went over to it hoping to get a peak at what was ...

... told Cori to dry off. To her dismay and utter relief, this was it, the massage was complete. Naturally, Cori was more than ready to hop on the bus and get out of Munnar. So, after a little searching around followed by an hour or so of waiting, we were again on a bus. The bus wound its way through and away from the Munnar tea estates and on to our next destination. With any luck Cori's joints and deeply bruised muscles would feel better by the time we got to Maddouri.

... those who leave KIS get going, get actively involved, taking on their part of responsibility for our world, and by doing so becoming a light themselves which shines into the darkness. Every light even the smallest counts and helps to shed and spread the good news that a better tomorrow is dawning. Even more! Every light helps to bring this new morning to come about. I myself would like to be such a light, - and you? "Get going and become light..." Yours truly, Lars Dedekind

... mal recht spannend und hat die Schül** und Lehrkräfte in gleichem Maße int**essi**t, da wir nicht zuletzt auch einige Schül**Innen von Auroville an d** KIS haben. Ich p**sönlich bewund**e den Mut und die En**gie d** **sten Gen**ation, die tatsächlich eine karge Wüstenlandschaft bewaldet und bewohnbar gemacht haben.

... Zumindest, solange wir trocken im Haus sitzen, hat dieses Wetter seinen Reiz. Sobald man die schlammig, glitschig aufgeweichten, von Wasser über- (und unter-) spülten Wege betreten muß, vergeht einem das gemütlich kuschelige Gefühl. Die Wassermassen die hier während des Monsuns seit Oktober runterkommen, sind in ihrem Umfang dann nämlich doch nicht mehr mit dem deutschen Herbstwetter zu vergleichen. Ganze Straßenabschnitte werden hier regelmäßig jedes Jahr neu unterspült und ...
