Weekend get-away

We went to a beach resort called the Dune this past weekend. It is about 15 kms before Puducherry on ECR. The USP of the resort is its thematic bungalows (spread over 30 acres) created by in-house artists who came together from around the world.

We stayed in a cottage called The Mud House with its own private garden and a separate bathroom. It was close to the swimming pools (adult and a kiddie one) as well as the restaurant. Kav and Rajesh spent most of their time in the kiddie pool. Kav actually did swim a bit. The legs moved naturally but he got scared when his head hit the water once. After that he sat clinging to daddy. He totally enjoyed seeing daddy do some laps in the big pool though.

There were a few dogs and cats that came to the cottage patio to rest from the harsh sun. Kav was so friendly with, touching and poking them, and thankfully they were harmless too. He especially loved the big Dalmatian that always had its tail waving.

The drive back and forth was painless, about 2 hrs. Which I think is an ideal time for a toddler. We did the onward drive during his nap time, which worked out great. I did have to take the stove with me to cook his breakfast and dinner though, and that is really a pain.
