After the heat and humidity exploring the ancient cities we were gasping to cool off in the Eastern beaches.
The morning we left the only train available was third class. Now Jo was reluctant to say the least as he had read there could be problems if we fell asleep. Julie cajoled and at 10.40 we were off on our 2 hour journey (hardly likely to fall asleep only from eating too much delicious curry for breakfast.) Julie gleefully pointed out that the worse problem was who to talk to as everyone was friendly and security never an issue! We decided to splurge a wee bit and our accommodation was beautiful and right on Kalkudah beach. Impossibly golden sand and turquoise water, deserted apart from our place and a few fishing boats.
