This team outing has happened on May 18, 2011.
This time we thought that lets go to some place and relax ourselves as our team has done lot of hard work for a certain release and lets have fun. Ultimately we short listed "Club Cabana" in Yelankha, Bangalore.
We booked the bus from 7.00 AM and to our surprise the bus has reached before us. The driver was nice guy and he told us, take your time. Then we took few stuffs from office and after all the team members were present we started from our office at 7.30 AM. Once we were in the bus, we first created 3 teams and we named the team. My team name was Warriors. The other two teams were Blue Boxer and Challengers. All we are copy cat (IPL). So we thought lets play a cricket match in the team outing.
As soon as we reached (9.00 AM) we were given bands. Then we reached the reception and we were given 1 tetra pack juice but I think the monkey were the invitees too. They even had the tetra pack juice. Anyways we were all hungry and moved for the breakfast. Food was not bad but not good also. It was bread, butter, jam with omlet and chole baturey with tea/coffee. Eating area was clean but just beside the area one small pool was there where we were able to locate small fish. But that was too dirty. Anyways fish makes dirty.
After breakfast, we went towards bowling at 10.00 am. It seems to be costly there. They were allowing us to play only 5 frames and actually bowling is a 10 frame game. We paid them extra for another 5 frame of game. Anyways, its time for Warrior to win again as we are born'd winners :).
As per plan we then moved towards to play out door games and believe it or not its time for PPL (Payerpath Premier League). It was two teams and we played best of 3. Again our team won both the matches so no point of playing 3rd match. The we wanted to relax, but in a different way. It was called to create a longest rope, collecting whatever things we have with us. Time limit was 3 mins and it was real fun. Again the born'd winner won this.
In this heat people like to play beach volleyball, but we made it playground volleyball. After 2 sets it was really tiresome and only we 8 were playing there. So we thought to close it and hang around before having the lunch.
We were so my dehydrated that many of us were not able to have good lunch. Everything was very little, again the food taste was not worthy.
Then we relaxed ourselves and went for the slides. The water was too dirty, no instructors but we have experience sliders in our team who instructed us. Then we moved ahead with the wave pool. While we went to the wave pool, the waves has just started, but seeing one thing (a street dog drinking water from the pool) has made me and Peter thinking that next time we will avoid club cabana. Lazy river was under maintainance, so nothing use for us. Anand, Suman and Seetharam who joined Rathna in the hard drinks party and rest of us moved to the Jacuzzi, but again the shortfall, not steam water, its a normal water. But we played waterfold games.
Its time to to get wrapped everything and have a high tea i,e tea with Pakoda. It time to leave now, its 6.30 pm. Everyone were at office before 8.00 pm, so it was good. Overall good team outing but going back to same resort - NO
Few points on Club Cabana
1. Food taste not good - normal food.
2. Water extremely dirty
3. Dogs drinking water from the wave pool
4. Jacuzzi - not so good
5. Slides - no instructor
6. Bowling area is very bad. The lanes are not good.
7. For out door games they have good area.
8. Bands should not be lost.
