Indian Samurai इंडियन सामुराई

When I arrived in India I could not stand massages. But since only fools don’t change their minds, I learned to appreciate them...        

So… the recipe for a successful ayurvedic massage is: fresh mosquito bites (24 hours max). It feels SO good !!
A small grain of sand lying around can also spice up the session nicely! Raaahhh...         

However, the drop of oil flowing down the thigh or in the ear, it is up to the level of Japanese torture!           

Back to Port Blair we went to jail...  
We visited the prison historical fact...

Ok ok bad joke...
Once you arrive in this Cellular jail you go straight from paradise to hell...            
Mainly you are sweating like a pig because of the humidity.    

In short, the prison is the only tourist spot of Port Blair apparently. A place of torture that looks pretty nice today. Built in the shape of a star, each branch filled with cells - imposing solitary confinement...               
What is interesting is the story of all "freedom fighters" who were sent there and tortured. It makes you want to read more on the subject ... But no time!         

From Kolkata we took a flight to Port Blair.   
Upon arrival, a pleasant surprise: the taxi of the hotel was waiting for us! And drove us straight to a restaurant to have some good grilled fish before boarding the boat.         
We then let the staff drive us to the jetty, then to the boat, then to the hotel and then we went from discovery to discovery ...    

Firstly a huge hall made entirely of wood ... Then a great looking guy that came out of nowhere (and who proved later to be the barman - God be praised!) ... Then our tent quite ugly from the outside but what a surprise when you enter a luxury desert tent... And finally the beach. Beach 7. Radhanagar Beach. Voted one of 10 most beautiful beaches in Asia. And no disappointment!
