Visit to Andaman and Nicobar Command

We have just returned from the first College Tour to the Andoman Islands - humid and wet, but very pretty.  Here are a few snaps:

Great beaches

We are returning to the Andoman Islands for Christmas once the monsoon is over - hopefully we will be able to upload some more photos of the great beaches in these little known islands off the coast of Myamar and Thailand.

Rain Drops Keep Falling on My Head!!

Enjoying the Monsoon!

I am a Bollywood Star!!

During our time in Cochin we were asked to fill in as extras in a Bollywood Movie being filmed in a beach cafe - I will be signing autographs later!!!!

Kerela Backwaters

The end of the 2nd tutorial on Thursday meant that we could get away and see a bit of India.  Our choice was to travel the hot, sweaty and very bumpy 7 hours to Cochin on the West coast of India.  Once a dutch and Portuguese trading port there are some great iconic images of India - some of which I have tried to capture here. From the Kerela backwaters, to the golden beach at Cherai at the chinese fishing nets - we saw them all.

We stayed at a lovely little beach resort called Les 3 Elephants on Cherai Beach, run by a french couple we had a really relaxing time - if someone had told me 6 months ago that I would be enjoying a long weekend in Kerela - I would not have believed them.
