I know I promised pictures of our Thailand trip in the last post and have been extremely lazy in posting them but life has been passing me by in a whirlwind of activity. More precisely life post marriage has picked up pace, although I do have my lazy moments. But I've learnt how one has to don the cape post marriage and look up to the road runner to get everything done. Luckily for me I have a steal of a husband who helps me around the house more than I had bargained for.
As I am done justifying, below are some pictures from our most recent trip to the Andamans.

| Clownfish Cafe was a very pretty little joint to spend the hot afternoon in. They serve pizzas, pastas and sandwiches. We had the seafood pasta, the mango flavoured chicken dish and mango milkshake. The food was not bad but the ambience was simply beautiful. And the PADI office is right here too. |

The Central Jail at Port Blair is now a national monument. It's a beautiful structure where too many horrible things have taken place. The freedom fighters of India were bought to this jail, as it would seclude them from the struggle and tortured in ways one cannot imagine. There is a light and sound show that tells the sad story. Only I wish they had made the show less boring because it is a very beautiful and unfortunate tale.
A school of fish can be seen in the shallow waters of the Elephant beach. That is where they take you snorkeling from Havelock. You can rent snorkeling gear off the beach, but first check if it is already part of the package or you might have to pay twice. They have coaches that take you snorkeling a little deeper into the sea-so unless you are a pro already, I'd advise you to take a package with a coach as it takes a lot more stamina to swim in the choppy waters of the Andamans.
The Full Moon Cafe was by far the best place in Havelock for food. The place is a neat little wooden shack with lots of lanterns and a book rack. I could spend an entire day just lazing in this place and re-ordering their ginger lemon honey (a drink that was available in every restaurant in the Andamans and by the end of the trip we were hooked to it), this place also serves green tea. We ordered the Bamboo steamed fish and it was a real treat for our palates yearning for authentic Andamans cuisine. This dish is served with rice and was quite enough for both of us.

Stay tuned as pictures of our Thailand trip are yet to be uploaded. There are so many pending posts that I need to jot down, I hope I can be more regular in posting from now on. Feedback is very much appreciated and a great form of motivation, so please do let me know your thoughts and ideas and places you would like to hear about.

Was expecting more about seafood, you being the seafood-n-eggs-only-non-vegetarian and this being an island trip.
Next stop- Thailand post.
