We have had quite a quiet day which has been nice.
B and I read our books while C and T did some work in preparation for exams. We had all agreed to meet for lunch at 1.
N and L, M and F went out and explored the shops on the cliffs. Something we ne’er really got a chance to do wen we were first here.
I went out and got some water, biscuits and coke and explored a bit for an hour, also looking for free wi-fi as the hotel wi-fi is not cheap. Found free at Eden Gardens just opposite the Hindustan Beach Resort where we first stayed but everywhere else was protected with a password, which they will give you for free if you buy coffee etc.
We had a good buffet lunch at the hotel and the went to the beach. The wind was picking up as a result of the cyclone on the other side of India in Tamil Nadu and eventually the life guards blew their whistles to get everyone out of the sea. B and I had a wander with C and M along the cliff top (C and M did buy some bangles and I got my t-shirt tear mended for 15 rupees (20p).)and ended up in Little Tibet for coffee, cake and drinks. M and C went to get N, L and F but Tim who,had got himself a game of football decided to go back to the hotel to shower.
I managed to upload the rest of the bog to end day 12.
We then went to find out the times of the Katalaki dancing and found make up starts at 5 and by that time it was nearly 6.15 and the show starts at 6.45 and goes onto 8. so we decided to give it a miss and comeback on the 1st. Apparently once you have paid your 250 rupees per head you can nip in and out of the makeup preparations and the show.
We got ricks haws back to the hotel and then back again at 7.30 for a meal at Cafe Italiano. Good pizza and pasta and beer server in tea pots and mugs so it did not look like we were drinking!
Poor Tim has hurt his foot playing football. He kicked someone else’s foot and bent back his three little toes on his right foot and has got quite a limp. Hopefully nothing serious but he will be limping for a day or so.
Bed quite early at about 10.30. Nice easy day.
