They say, "Thank you for the 3 nights, Family Loke, in your beautiful house. We saw a lot of interesting things in the area and all these old temples of the Marathi. Of course we enjoyed the beautiful and lonesome beach. The food was extraordinary good and always too much, so we must escape now, not to gain weight.
