First week of vacation of december. Destination the unknown Andaman islands.
Beaches, fish, wildlife, good food, nice people... The pictures speak for themselves.
The first day we arrived by plane and went directly to Havelock island. An island with the most beautiful beach in the world (beach no 7 or "Radha Nagar" Beach), rated best beach in asia in 2004 by times ; no buildings only forest directly behind the beach, perfect water and pefect white sand. We also swam in a lagoon close to this beach (a tourist was apparantly eaten there by a salt water crocodile).
The next day we went to elephant beach to snorkel; really big fish!!!! The sad thing was that all the coral had died during the last summer due to abnormal high water temperatures....
Thus the only good coral was 20m down, which by snorkeling is quite difficult to get to...
We tried to reach another snorkel point by fisher boat. But the sea was sooo bad and there was sooo much water coming in that we decided to turn back and explore a magnificent beach on an uninhabited island.
The next day we decided to change islands and go to neil island. This island was even less touristy than havelock. The beaches were really interesting because there were trees growing in the water which was possible because of the tides. We ate a 2.5 kg fish (see picture) for 5 euros a restaurant...
Going to be travelling through the main indian cities tomorrow. Big Train trip ahead!
