we’re off round the world!!
Back in Port Blair for the final time, we headed straight towards a shop where on our previous shopping trip we had surprisingly managed to find olives, cheese, tomatoes and onions as well as bruschetta style bread, we were going to be eating much better on the boat this time around. We also bought large [...]
As the boat pulled into the jetty we saw the familiar smiling face of one of our lovely waiters from Tango and it was a great feeling that we were back.
We arrived at Tango and joined Marie for breakfast and chatted with everyone as they woke regaling our tales from the big city! We were [...]
We arrived at the dreaded ticket office yet again and again I went off to the ladies queue, the weather that morning was particularly hot and there are no fans or open windows in the terminal.

The day finally arrived no more putting it off, we’d finally get to see just how bad this thing was going to be!
We arrived at the Port (again) and waited for the bus to arrive to take us onto the dockside, the bus pulled up and there were faces and bodies oozing out of every [...]
