After several hectic days, we went off to an Ayurvedic spa beach resort, The Niraamaya Surya Samudra. 
Sometimes it's nice just to stop.
Kingfisher lager, 8.7%. It's got a little more body than lager sold in the UK, and I don't think that's just down to the %. I rarely drink lager in England. I prefer ales and such.
Chilli chicken. Self explanatory!
With chapati.
My youngest daughter had a chicken and celery soup. Delicious. She'd had enough curry, bless her.
My eldest had appam and stew, again a mild option. Conventionally breakfast food, but, on holiday, so go wild! 
My middle daughter went for a grilled chicken and apple salad. Not overcooked, always a risk with Western dishes in India.
I think it's safe to say my family have had their annual quota of curry.
Our cottage, built to look like a traditional village house, but with air conditioning, running hot water and WiFi.
