Second Day

Our driver was ready to drop us at the jetty, and our Makruzz was prepared to take us to Havelock Island at approximately eight o'clock. Ferry is available for travel from one island to another from 6 o'clock in Morning. Our breakfast (sandwich, banana, biscuit, and wafers) was packed by the Drift Wood Hotel. We were quite excited as it was our first time traveling by cruise, and we also took some pictures and videos. Because of the amazing weather, we had a great time together on cruise, had breakfast, and had conversations with strangers while traveling.

I met a family, consisting of two kids and their parents. Instead of eating junk food like wafers and everything, they were eating fruits and dry fruits. That really inspired me a lot for bring nutritious food on our trips. And starting from the very next day, I always carry an apple and a banana. I made the decision to only eat fruits and dry fruits on my next trip.

It's a peaceful place and like SUKUN. I collect some shells and some natural material and make some art.

Here are some beautiful view of Beach at Resort

The best way to explore the Island is to rent a bike. You can easily find activa here for Rs.500/- and add Rs.100/- for petrol.

One of the best thing at all over Andaman was that every person wear helmet back seat person also. After lunch we rent a activa and headed towards Radhanagar beach. So let's begin our ride to the beach at Radhnagar to see the sunset. The entire road is lined with gardens of Supari and coconut trees. We arrived at the beach before dusk, so we had some local fruit, such as star fruit and the Aamara which tastes Khatta mittha like mango and local Elchi Banana. I advise you to try regional cuisine wherever you go.

My partner is passionate about photography. He therefore took many of my candid photos. Along with creating some sand art, I also relished the natural beauty of the water, its sound, the wind and the sun. friends Try sand art; it's a unique experience that makes you appreciate the beach. Sand art at beach is not permanent still I make it because it teach you a life time lessons; All things are in flux, it says, beautiful but ephemeral, moving but temporary, a plateau but not a summit. Nothing is permanent in life So enjoy your present.
