Another new experience - an Ayurveda Spa and Health Center in Goa March 2015

We have been on various adventures other than the Silk Road which we did detail our blog: traveling though Sri Lanka and North India; a family vacation on Alonissos Island in Greece, then travels through Turkey with my sister Liza joining us for Greece and Turkey adventures.  This was followed by a quick visit to Washington and San Diego to see family, then two months in Cuenca, Ecuador learning Spanish and enjoying the Galapagos islands, and Liza visiting and traveling with us to Mindo, Otovalo and other birding sites together with the Amazon. We had a big Bosch family gathering for Christmas 2014, and the periods in between we were in Chiang Mai, Thailand covering almost four months of the year, November through February.

David at Madain Saleh, Saudi Arabia

We left Chiang Mai March 5^th  2015 and traveled to Oman for a few days and then on to an Aramco Reunion in Dhahran Saudi Arabia, an overnight stop to see our son Jonathan and his wife Kat, to kiss and hold our grand daughter and then to David’s 48^th year Kodaikanal High School reunion. Now we are spending 2 weeks in the Devaaya Ayurveda Spa and Health Center in Goa, the former Portuguese colony on the Indian Ocean.

Wednesday – March 25^th We travelled here from Madurai on Air India and had a 3 hr stop in Chennai. We arrived at Goa in the evening and then had a 1 hour drive plus small car ferry (5 minute) to Divar island where the Devaaya Ayurveda and Nature Cure Center is located at the tip end. Even though we arrived after 9pm the staff had a dinner on a tray already for us which we appreciated very much.

The well-maintained resort is very clean, with gardens, a pool, meditation room, yoga area, wi-fi areas and 2 eating areas along with a library/ room with some exercise equipment. The main building on the resort is the Spa/Treatment area.  Our standard room (J-4) is on a lower floor and has a view of a field and water, AC, overhead fan, TV and bathroom.  We have a patio with nice tables and chairs. We look forward to our Ayurveda experience.
