2/4/2011 Chris and I took a walk down the long beach and ended up going over some bridge and wading through a lagoon to reach some cool bar at the end of a headland. Shame we weren't in the mood for a drink though but it was about time we did some activity! Chilled in the sun most of the day and swam across the bay to get from my hotel to Cafe Del Mar where we watched the Cricket World Cup final and had a chicken makhanwala!

Paid 100 rupees for credit that didn't even work, Chris paid another 100 as we didn't checkout in time (much to my annoyance as I just walk out everytime they ask for a stupid amount, normally half a night's pay) and shared a taxi with the Danish girls Anna and Nanna and French girl Phillipine. Ended up being 1500 instead of 500 th...
