Dec 29

Today after a light breakfast, we jumped in a vehicle and drove 28 km to the Gandi marine and wildlife park.We saw several what we think are typical towns or villages lots of cows blocking traffic and some beautiful rain forests.after arriving at the dock our trusty driver go us quickly on our boat which travelled for about an hour through a large estuary and then onto the ocean .we arrived at Jollybuoy Is. and it was awesome saw tons of fish and coral as we approached the island. Although our tour guide in Point Blair assured us there would be snorkels and masks there for us , we were duped again. Getting a mask and snorkel could happen if you then put a lifesaving ring around your waist and let them pull you through a short section of sand and coral ares,it was like a pony ride , John was upset we will mention to Perfect travel in Delhi never to use Sugur travel in Point Blair, anyone travelling to point Blair should avoid their sleazy practises. After calming down we walked and enjoyed the cleanest beaches we have seen in India. Overall it was a great day but could have been a 10 if we could have used snorkeling stuff independently, as we were promised. Our drive back was uneventful but it is a reminder that tomorrow we go to the real India not resort India.

  3. Glad you are well! Hopefully the dreaded German disease "de schpraizen ze bowllen" has passes or at least stopped passing! Sitting at Lizard Creek Lodge having a beer with everyone Skiing is great but not epic - says Russ. Don't step on any Stone fish, jelly fish or sharks. Says Johnnie They all have advice! Happy new year.
