Wandoor beach, private once again!

Situated some 40km south of Port Blair is Wandoor, jumping off point for Gandhi marine national park. It's breathtaking. Here we took time out from our hectic schedules to relax, ha ha ha ha! Simple was the name of the game here as we pitched a tent on the beach and slept under the stars. Supper was fresh fish, the taste of which stays with me now. The only sounds our voices and the fire, around which we were sat, crackling.


Here we wasted away the finals few days of our time in paradise by exploring the underworld of the national park; swimming with Manta Rays, weaving through the most beautiful coral reefs and climbing trees on deserted islands to fetch coconuts (actually that wasn't us, but the deckhand who took less than 30 seconds to run up (and later down) a 20 meter tree!

For some mystifying reason this place is overlooked by most - thankfully we were joined by two interpid motorcyclists Simon and Ran who made the last two days as good as any others on the islands (not to mention the bike ride back to Port Blair on their bikes - awsome!) - which left us with the time and freedom to do anything we wished....and we did, after all, why not.
