Andaman’s Day 2: Havelock Island

    Andaman’s: Day 1 - Day 2 - Day 3 - Day 4 - Day 5 - Day 6 - Day 7 - Day 8 - Day 9

    Early morning we reached Haddo Jetty to take our ferry to Havelock Island. The ferry was modest and the journey was eventless. We reached Havelock around noon and a cab transferred us to our hotel in no time. Havelock is a moderately sized island so the first thing we did after checking in was to rent couple of two-wheelers.

    The Blue Bird Resort, our hotel in Havelock

    Our hotel, The Blue Bird Resort was strategically placed - not on the beach but not very far, not near the main market but not remote. Our cottage was spacious and cosy. The hotel compound was larg, green and served complementary breakfast at the backside where everyone who was staying had to go in the morning. There was a famous restaurant next to our hotel where we had all our lunches.

    The two-wheelers were at our disposal from next day so we strolled to nearby Vijaynagar Beach after lunch. It is rocky and most of the visitors are those staying in the resorts lined along the beach. We walked a good distance and came out through one such resort that was beautifully lighted. Lights made us feel safer as well.

    We came back walking after taking tea at a roadside stall. At night after dinner we settled for the game of Carcassonne. We slept early. Next day on our two-wheelers we started for the famed Radhanagar Beach. It is considered as the best beach in Asia. On the way we picked fruits for the beach picnic.
