And finally ............

We have had such a brilliant time and would recommend this to anyone who wants to do something a little different on holiday.

We have been lucky enough to be invited around to two Indian family homes, all because of working at ARK.  JJ, the waiter at our favourite restaurant, also invited us around to his home yesterday. This was completely unexpected as we had only gone to visit another property he owns which is available for rent.  (Well worth considering and can accommodate 4 couples.) He also has 2 Labradors that he has re-homed from ARK - meet Tiger and Jacqui :  

We never expected to receive such hospitality from one family, let alone two, and we felt really lucky.

Thanks for visiting our blog - we will continue to add updates re ARK, and also a link to their new website once it is up and running. In the meantime, please visit their Facebook page (see links) and sign their petition if you so wish.
