Man is it hot!! Even the cold shower was really warm!
We put bathing suits on under our clothes and walked towards the beach. On the way we were stopped by a woman who wanted to talk with us and then finally begged us to go to her store. We found a pair of flip flops for Craig (he didn't own any and they are good for the beach and communal showers) but she refused to tell us a price until we looked around some more. Finally she asked for 850 rupees (over $20) but we eventually got her down to 200 rupees so Craig is the proud owner of a pair of flip flops. At another shop we bought a pair of red sarong-style shorts for me (I have realized that I didn't bring light enough clothes for Australia) for 150 rupees. When we walked onto the beach we were immediately approached by a man trying to sell parasailing rides. We decide not to go though because it looked like you just floated in one spot for 20 mins.
We found our friends on the beach and left our stuff with them to go for a swim. The water was quite warm, very salty, and there were really strong waves, making swimming difficult. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing on beach chairs with some water and a Bacardi Breezer Jamaican Punch - yum!
Craig and I decided to try a fully vegetarian restaurant for our potentially last Indian dinner, then went back to the beach bar to watch fireworks with the others. Most of the others went to a night club around midnight but Craig and I were tired and cover was rumoured to be 850 rupees each (it turned out to be free for ladies and 1200 for men) so we just went back to bed. Yes, we're old and boring.
