Jaast-e

(Well, actually reminded by this pic posting)


Port Blair, some weeks ago

The standard "island paradise" shots. Been there, done that. Except that these were from the verandah of my room, over my morning coffee.
















Do they paint
the ocean floor for that effect? Naah, not in the Andamans.



















Below - Ross Island, which used to be the Brits' home-away-from-home.



The Andaman & Nicobar chain is made up of 572 islands, atolls and reefs . And sometimes just clumps of rocks. This one is called Snake Island.










Then there's the dark side. The Cellular Jail.























And there's the utterly unspeakable.





WHY?! O ye Gods and little fishes!




A couple of random "nice shots" (do NOT contradict me here!) to sign off with.

Aawsum.
Do a "food-in-Andaman" post, JAP. Would love to see you shred some poor touristy place to bits :)

Ha! My pics are *way* better.

*smug grin*

But you should've gone to Havelock...it's to-die-for beautiful.

Went there during Bharat Darshan. Beautiful place. Though I doubt if you found anything good to eat.
