After a freezing cold overnight bus journey I arrived on the lovely little island of Diu.  It was occupied by the Portugeuse until around 1960 so had a very mediteranean feel to it.  I found a lovely little room and slept for most of the day.  I was by now feeling almost 100% better which was good and I was planning to spend a few days just relaxing and soaking up the sun.
I hired a bike and cycled out to a nearby town and out to Sunset point to watch the sunset.  I enjoyed eating again after over a week of eating very little.  On my last day I met an Indian guy called Surag from Ahmedabad who had been living in Auckland for the last 6 years.  He was on holiday in Diu with 4 friends so they decided to befriend me and show me some of the sites.  We enjoyed some lunch and headed out to Nagoa beach.  Diu is in the state of Gujurat which is a dry state.  Diu has different laws and allows alcohol so many Indians come to Diu on holiday, mainly to drink!  Nagoa beach was full of Indian men and couples.  It was fun though.  We had a game of volley ball and I watched while the guys went swimming.  I said farewell to my new friends and enjoyed a yummy mango and coconut milkshake and the fantastic ice cream parlour.  After 4 days I was ready to go again.  Another freezing overnight bus journey and I arrived back in Ahmedabad.  Thankfully I only had to wait an hour before catching another bus to Udaipur.
