we are very sad to leave the andamans! kolkata next..

25.04 DIVING!

Today I have been out diving!:) It was wonderful! Just the feeling of being under water, breathing, among the fish..really amazing! Unfortunately most of the corals here near the coast are dead, you have dive much deeper if you want to see live coral, but then you need to be an advanced diver, and I’m not..However we saw a big sea turtle and swam with that for a while!:) Jeeii! And I saw one still living coral. And lots of other fishes and two octopus’!:) Aiai what a day!

24.04

Yes, its been a long long time since I last wrote something on my blog, and for that I am sorry, it’s just that I haven’t really had time..We had this group paper we needed to do, and then I needed to be social, which left little time for my blog. Now, however I have almost all the time in the world! The group paper is finished and I am HAPPY! The last days of Pondi is a little blurrish, because there was so much going on..I think..Oh yes, we were supposed to have our goodbye party on Wednesday 11 I think, but then the earthquake in Indonesia caused a Tsunami alert, so we needed to be ready to be evacuated, we gathered on some of our rooftops and waited. And waited and waited..well nothing happened, no Tsunami came and Samanta and I decided to go for our trip to the Andaman Islands!:) Which is where I am now, lying in a hammock on my terrace with an ocean viewJ Yeah, it’s okay to be a little jealous..

I don’t think there has been that much happening in between the time I wrote last and till now. Nothing I remember right now anyway. It’s just been good people and fun, and school work off course..And a few more lazy days by the pool, which also included diving (stuping), swimming competitions and ‘who can hold their breath the longest’ (under water) competition, so it wasn’t all lazy...

Oh yes another thing! Line had her birthday on April 5. She turned 24! And the sweetest, nicest, best friends I got here came to my room early morning with cake and then they sang for me!:) It was a big surprise, but it was so niceJ And then in the evening off course we had to have a party!:) HURRA!

Off course now there is an exam to write, but that is almost finished as well!:) Being here at the Andaman Islands with the most beautiful scenery and getting to write my exam is just thrilling! It’s really beyond me, every time I wake up to this fantastic view of the clear turkish/blue ocean with a white beach and palm trees slightly waving in the wind!:) Yes, I definitely recommend coming here!

Samanta and I have had a few intense work days, but we have also been out snorkelling! It was nice, not the most extraordinary snorkel I’ve done, but today (24.04) we are going to book another trip where Samanta can snorkel and I can dive! Shiiit off course I’m a bit nervous as always, but I’m gonna do it! When I was out snorkelling I really wanted to go diving right away, I know I love it, I just forget some times...

We also rented bikes a few days ago and rode to Beach Nr. 7, it was very beautiful, a white long beach with the clearest water I have ever seen! That was the best part, seriously I have never seen that clear water, even in a bathtub(?). But accept from the water, I actually like ‘our’ beach better. At Beach Nr. 7 there is this lagoon which is beautiful, but two years ago there were a crocodile attack there on an American girl, so now, instead of being afraid of sharks, I’m afraid of crocodiles...I don’t know weather to laugh or cry...And I don’t have my Marit to tell me to shape up, get over it, or reassure me. But I think I’m doing pretty good. Luckily Samanta aren’t afraid of the crocodiles!

Ai, Andaman is truly fantastic!

We go swim every morningJ We eat really good food!

Oh yes, by the way we are now at Havelock Island. Think we are trying to get to Neil Island at least, we would really like to go to Little Andaman as well, but is seven hours by boat, and we don’t have that mush time left. There were a crocodile attack there the other day, on a local farmer, he was just getting water for his crops..aiai..huff!

Love from Andaman <3
