India - Day 15 - Friday 18th November

Our final full day at the beach resort, and we're running out of things to do. There are a number of trips you can take from the hotel, but all of them are included in our upcoming tour. Brain wave strikes at 11am after a late breakfast, and we retire to the book house where the Internet connection is a bit faster, and there is a power socket, and we manage to watch the Brazilian Grand Prix from two weeks ago. An interesting race, and there is still hope that Lewis can win the championship at the final race of the season.
At 4pm we go on the village tour with a hotel guide. He's a naturalist and tells us all about the plants and trees we see, plus a beautiful dragonfly. 


One strange tree is the 'suicide tree'. The fruits look very like mangos, but will kill you in two hours if you eat one. However, the leaves are very good at extracting pollutants out of the air.

A couple of beers before dinner with Roger and Jennie from Sydney then we share a table with them in the fish restaurant. Another excellent meal, washed down by a bottle of Indian white wine.
