Day1 (What did you do, how was the stay that was provided to you, your day, the
plan and its execution etc)
We started from our home like five and reached airport. After check-in we had our
breakfast and it was already our time to board.It was totally 2 hrs and 15 min
journey. We reached Andaman by 10.45. As soon as we reached the rain
started. It was like thar desert to chirapunji the rain was welcoming us.It was
so chill and refreshing. The airport was like small we dint get any confusion
through its our first time visit.
We collected our bags and when we came out there was our agent waiting for
us.He welcomed us and dropped us in hotel in 15min hardly(There is no
traffic in rain point to be noted).we checked in hotel by 11.30Am.Since am
not a morning bird and I got up by 5 I started to sleep like our whole purpose
was to sleep in Andaman.
The climate was so chill we never know we slept for like 4 hrs. We got a call from
our driver that it was already late and he is waiting for us. We got refreshed
and visited corbyn’s cove beach.
We tried jet-ski and I was literally lost in the beauty of the sea. My fear was
already eaten by the sea beauty. I dint regret for choosing Andaman on the
day 1 itself.
After jet-ski we had our long walk in sea shore and tasted the best tender
coconut.It was so cheap compared to Chennai at least. I forgot that I dint
have my lunch yet so had the hot bajis ter.
Soon it was our time for light show in Cellular jail.The moment I stepped in it was
lik something is choking in the throat.I felt the pain behind every bars.The
rooms wer like ntg but proved the rulers wer pure evil.I always felt that their
pain s stil exploited by these politicians anyways.But the light show was
amazing and eye treat.
As we wer from southern part we dint know hindi yet. And the explanation wer all
in hindi that was the hard time I felt I need to learn hindi
(There are shows with English version too pls opt for it. Don’t forget mosquito roll
on before u enter the cellular jail. First come first served so if u wanna enjoy
the show b earlier)
We came back and we couldn’t sleep. I felt the room was nt clean enough and I
have raised flag to my agent.As it was already late we slept in that room 

Day 2
We got up by morning 8 and got ready left to harbor as we need to catch the
ferry.Our driver dropped us in port.Like airport we had the check in and
dropped our luggage and waited for our ferry. They informed us our ferry was
2 hrs delayed then we started to explore the port. Clicked some selfies and
solo pics. The climate was so awesome like we sat down to enjoy it in silence. I
dono how those 2 hours wer gone. Trust me no internet still we enjoyed two
hours of our life.
We got into ferry and sat in our seat allocated. It my first time travel in sea I was
much excited. I dint let him to sit made him to take photos and we fasten our
belt once the ferry started to move. We enjoyed the ride. It was more like
sea’s lullaby I dono when I slept. i woke up wen he actually said pls get up ma I
cant piggy back u when u are always sleepy.

We got down from the ferry.I actually never trusted love at first sight but trust me
the moment I saw haclock I fallen in love with it.It was like 1 in noon and the
breeze was kissing me already.

We got into cab and checked-in to wild orchid and I was very eager to visit the most
beautiful beach of ASIA” The Radhanagar beach “. This time I dint let him to
take rest not even the lunch(I agree that was my mistake ).We came to the
most beautiful beach started to wait for our lunch in a small shop nearby. We
waited and waited they tested my patience I got up that’s it.

We started to explore the beach we kept our mobile in a locker nearby. There was
dress changing room too but we weren’t aware of it so we dint take dresses
with us. We played in beach long time. We walked taken snap. I got lost in sea
beauty again. We spoke and spoke and spoke a lot it was already 5 then v
started to hotel.
I was getting so dark by 5 itself and the rain started as usual by evening we had our
dinner in red snapper it was such a lovely food. Yummy!!!! I felt so filling and
tired we slept.
Day 3
By morning 4 I got up. It was like 6 for us in Chennai and got ready to visit beach No
4 which is just the back side of our resort. I would hav missed a whole part if
we haven’t step into this beach. It was soooo beautiful and elegant. Calm and
like heaven on the earth. We sat on the sand and enjoyed the sun rise. Soon
people started to cme and we left by 7 to our resort. We had our breakfast and
started to explore the resort. It was good and economical too. In Havlock u will
get only BSNL signal and we wont be having any phone in room . It was really
like time travel back to our olden time (HAHAAH!!). With all these miss-
communication we started to do scuba diving after checking out by 9AM.A
form was given to us we filled it and went to the actual place. We went to
exact place and they gave us the scuba diving dress to change. We were all set
kept our things in locker we wer into the water.

They gave us training and trust me these trainer are really good.I felt the confidence
of going into water after the training. Each person are assigned with the trainer
and he went with his trainer. Initially I struggled because I dono swimming .
My trainer guided me so well I gained the courage and explored the under
world. It was something every1 should hav try. The discovery channel was
before my eyes. I was the oyster It was real treat to the eyes. I never know
how the time flew away. The took me so deep at some point I felt water
pressure but still I was greedy to see how the under world is so we went deep
and met my husband there we took some photos.
When we were pulled out of out we came to know we wer already late for our
ferry.Yes we had our ferry by 01.30 it was already 1.20. we rushed to check-in
after getting the pics in 5 min. And we wer so much drenched as the rain
started pretty early today. We got into our ferry. We felt heavy rain and I got
motion sickness. The crew members were so helpful. They got me better seat
and I slept for the rest of my journey.
After we reached port plair my husband was complaining that wen every1 was
screaming in fear I was sleeping like ntg happened. Seriously ?!
We checked in to hotel and really I feel sleeping again. We ordered food to our room
and ate and slept
Day 4:
We got by 8 and came to know the boats to ROSS island was not function due to
weather . We started to wandoor beach we had our photo session and by
noon I really wanted to eat heavy and delicious we went to anandham hotel
ordered lobster it was so good as expected. We retuened by Auto to our they
charged only Rs 20. If its chennai we should nearly shed 80 atleast.
BY 4 we started to another beach with extra payment of Rs 1200 from our
package.The view was good as usual and we came back and explored port blair
streets by our own and return back to hotel.

Day 5:
Day 5 we have to start to baratang by 3 Am.Am not kidding we got up y 2 Am and
was ready by 3Am and started our trip. It was dark outside and was drizzling.
We were seeing the silent Andaman with no people by 5 Am we reached the
place and there were like 1000 of people wer already before us. I was lik
what ? these people really slept. We wer given time to have our breakfast and
some forms wer given to seek permission to go inside the restricted place.

By 6 Am we started to go inside the forest area. We were first welcomes by


jarawas  I was literally taken back. Ok am afraid .The place was so
greeneeeeeeeee and chillll. I can only see green leaves wer ever I turned.
Then we got into a convenorship which took us to baratang . we had our short boat
trip about 20 min from there and the moment they took inside the mangrove
forest it was like Hollywood movie (anaconda) .
We had our trekking from there for nearly 1km. we reached the cave. They explained
us about the limestone cave. We had nimbu pani on the way back and we are
again back to our original place. We had good food in baratang and back to the
hotel.we had dinner in lighthouse after small shopping. But my pick would be
anandham.

Last Day
I couldn’t believe our trip was over. I was like a kid crying that I wont leave the bed
cos we are going back. Every day It will be me who get up early and get
ready.It was him today. He kept my dress ready I was just rolling on the bed.
My final hug to Andaman. We had our breakfast and left for airport. We
checked-in boarded and I know I came to the thar dessert again. It was so hot
that my body couldn’t adjust to temperature . The dream came to hault. I
am dreaming abt Shimla next.
