After we had finished at the pool in the hotel, we went to the Lighthouse Beach. We all had to squeeze into one auto rickshaw. We were all relieved to leave the auto. Our driver dropped us about 50 yards away from the beach and we walked the rest of the way. When we reached the shore, we hopped in the sea. The waves were enormous! They were definitely the biggest ones that I have ever seen in my life. We swam for a bit and then moved to another spot. The life guards helped by waving people to another section because the waves were to strong in that area. When we finished swimming we decide to walk home. We had no clue where our hotel was. We walked up to a nice resort and asked the security guard for directions. Luckily, he knew where it was. I was glad we were able to walk but the heat was outrageous! It felt so nice to walk into our A/C room.
The next day we went on our backwater tour. We drove for about 15 minutes to reach the place. Our boat was already sitting at the dock. It was amazing how they pushed it forward. A man stood at the back of the boat with a huge bamboo stick. He would jab it into the bottom of the water and push us forward. We were supposed to see the sunset but decided not to because we would have to wait for 1hr. On our ride we saw many birds from sea eagles to a Kingfisher. After our tour was over we headed back to the hotel.
