... didn't feel tired in the least. Finally we reached Havelock Jetty where a taxi was waiting to take us to the Wild Orchid Resort. We reached the hotel and checked in. After having breakfast, we immediately went to Vijay Nagar Beach (No. 5) which is in very close proximity to the Resort. The beach is lovely, with almost white sand and one can see almost 4-5 shades of green and blue in the stunning waters. In fact the waves are quite subdued in the evening and one can spend an entire ...

... avons discute avec beaucoup d'entre eux. Alors on parle tous un peu de la meme chose : d'ou tu viens, ce que tu as visite, ce que tu me conseille de faire et ou aller, bref le genre de chose dont parle tous les traverlers... et puis nous abordions bien sur la qualite du sable balnc, la temperature de l'eau (30/32degres) la qualite de notre bronzage, bref le genre de conversation entre traverlers... Comme je vous le disais prealablement, nous avons fait un peu de ...

... restaurant and grab some rice and masala sauces with some rotis. We grabbed a quick chai from a small stall right out front of the entrance and rushed to the line of people waiting for the ship and then proceeded to wait about half an hour for the boat to arrive and then for most passengers to get on board to avoid all the pushing. Once we got on board we realized all the pushing was for a decent seat but by the time we got on they were all taken. The ferry ride ...

... of whose grandparents came over when the British "brought them over to help with the logging" as our smiley DM Johnny told us - we weren't sure if this was a euphemistic description of bonded labour, so we just smiled and left it. Johnny was from the Karen tribe and he told us that Karens are very adventurous; when offered the chance to go exploring (or logging?) they jump at it but if you give them a book they are not ...

... whose claw span was probably as long as my forearm, was seen by me lurking in the squat toilets at 3am. It was waving its massive claws at me to fight me off. Thankfully I saw it before I went in and closed the door behind me, that could have been painful! I went to the next cubicle instead. We think these crabs live in the big rabbit type-holes just back from the beach, although we never saw one going in or out of the hole. Sadly no pic of the ...

... taxi! rickshaw! MAAAADAAAAM!". throwing myself at the mercy of the first driver i see, he takes me to a taxi and when i ask how much to the ferry he says "150 rupees" . i flip and am like, "aaaaaw, hell no!". he takes it down to 100 and as i am already halfway in the car i agree and we take off. as we pick up speed he says, "150". i grab the door handle and open the door while we're still moving and he yells "ok ...

... have happened in the world that matter more than which band is going to be the 'next Nirvana' or whether Taco Bell is going to bring back the Fiesta menu." But who can really feel a sense of wonder (as opposed to aghast astonishment) on Khao San Road? I mean, I suppose the discovery that there are white people on Earth that are more disgusting than American NFL fans does induce a bit of awe, but you know what I'm talking about.  I don't know why I feel that it's necessary that ...

... stopped but we started heading back into the sea. The pilot finally got on the intercom and said that there's no parking spot for us at the airport. There are already 2 planes there so there is no room for us. And we don't have enough fuel to keep circling and waiting for one plane to move. We're heading back to Chennai. I should explain that the Port Blair airport is a simple one small building airport with one runway and a small parking ...

... was a bigger ship with higher capacity of 800 passengers but it was also slower between the two. The ship, Kamorta, named after a tiny island belonging to Nicobar archipelago, is owned by Shipping Corporation of India and operated by the Directorate of Shipping Services, A&amp;N Administration. <br><br>The passenger sitting area in the covered deck of Kamorta was cramped and sultry...the non-functional ACs added to the woes! While the passengers initially scrambled to ...

... It is rarely visited and, we were told, the only people who ever camped there were fishermen weathering a storm or hoping to get an early-morning catch. We had visited a few days before our overnight stay and had been blessed with good weather and calm seas which made snorkelling over the reef a fantastic experience. At one point I had seen a large barracuda which had followed a group of us menacingly through the water. In addition to this we saw a cowardly puffer fish with ...
