Taking advantage of our location in southern India we decided to spend Christmas in the remote Andaman and Nicobar Islands which lie 1000km across the Bay of Bengal close to Myanmar and Thailand. Until 1941 the Andaman Islands were governed from a little piece of Britain constructed on Ross Island which lies a short distance from Port Blair. Following an earthquake and subsequent invasion by the Japanese, Ross Island was abandoned and has gradually been swallowed up by the jungle.
The Islands remain relatively undiscovered and offer world class beaches and diving. Here are just a few of our family pictures to give you a flavour of our holiday.

| Tom's Christmas present from his mum and dad was the chance to wash Rajan the elephant. |
