We had all agreed to meet for lunch at 1.<\/p>\n<p>N and L, M and F went out and explored the shops on the cliffs. Something we ne&#8217;er really got a chance to do wen we were first here.<\/p>\n<p>I went out and got some water, biscuits and coke and explored a bit for an hour, also looking for free wi-fi as the hotel wi-fi is not cheap. Found free at Eden Gardens just opposite the Hindustan Beach Resort where we first stayed but everywhere else was protected with a password, which they will give you for free if you buy coffee etc.<\/p>\n<p>We had a good buffet lunch at the hotel and the went to the beach. The wind was picking up as a result of the cyclone on the other side of India in Tamil Nadu and eventually the life guards blew their whistles to get everyone out of the sea. B and I had a wander with C and M along the cliff top (C and M did buy some bangles and I got my t-shirt tear mended for 15 rupees (20p).)and ended up in Little Tibet for coffee, cake and drinks. M and C went to get N, L and F but Tim who,had got himself a game of football decided to go back to the hotel to shower.<\/p>\n<p>I managed to upload the rest of the bog to end day 12.<\/p>\n<p>We then went to find out the times of the Katalaki dancing and found make up starts at 5 and by that time it was nearly 6.15 and the show starts at 6.45 and goes onto 8. so we decided to give it a miss and comeback on the 1st. Apparently once you have paid your 250 rupees per head you can nip in and out of the makeup preparations and the show.<\/p>\n<p>We got ricks haws back to the hotel and then back again at 7.30 for a meal at Cafe Italiano. Good pizza and pasta and beer server in tea pots and mugs so it did not look like we were drinking!<\/p>\n<p>Poor Tim has hurt his foot playing football. He kicked someone else&#8217;s foot and bent back his three little toes on his right foot and has got quite a limp. Hopefully nothing serious but he will be limping for a day or so.<\/p>\n<p>Bed quite early at about 10.30. Nice easy day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have had quite a quiet day which has been nice. B and I read our books while C and T did some work in preparation for exams.
