Second Day:Kavaratti


Got up early morning to view the sunrise from the ship. It was wonderful view. Had the breakfast and disembarked to a boat which took us to the shore. The beach was made up of pure white sand, amazingly clean, and the water was light green and almost transparent. The tourists were given a welcome drink of tender coconuts. Spend some time kayaking in the beach. After that we were taken on glass boats for a ride .We could see corals, sea anemones etc.through the glass boat. A large number of fishes in different colours were also spotted through the glass boat. Could see the butterfly fish, sword fish etc.After the boat ride we were simply lazing in the beach. Many were playing volley ball in the beach. Marine life exhibits can be seen at the new Marine aquarium which has excellent collection like fishes, sea anemones, corals, sea potatoes etc. The Skelton of a sperm whale was a variety item in the Museum. We were also taken to the desalination plant in Kavaratti which provided water to entire Kavaratti.Here water is salinated into fresh cold water for consumption.Lunch was followed by Kolkali and Parichamuttu kali performed for the tourists.
