Japamala Activities
Activities might be a bit of a misnomer for things to do on Japamala. Perhaps a new word is in order: Relaxtivities.
The beach is small - perhaps only 400 feet long, with big rocks at either end. There is nothing else near by. For relaxtivities, you can borrow from their stash of flippers and masks and go snorkel the reefs out in front - the coral and fish are best around the rocks.
They own a single boat, which they use to transport guest to and from the airport. If the boat is not in use for a few hours, you can have the captain (Jay), take you to another near-by snorkeling spot. You can borrow one of the two kayaks they have and splash around the shore, or you get a relaxing 2 hr Thai-Massage on the beach. You can also forge a path along the shore - up and over huge boulders and along uninhabited beach front. Eventually the path turn into the Jungle.
Lynn spent a while exploring the paths and ways into the Jungle - hiking many miles a day.
Oh - and my favourite relaxtivity of all - basking in the sun, drinking big fruity cocktails, swimming in the sea, basking in the sun, swimming in the sea - you get the picture.
Five days of pure relaxing bliss. I could stay for another few weeks. Heck if they had a decent internet connection, I might be tempted to stay all year and telecommute.
