2-3rd day of Port blair, the trip back
2nd day of Port Blair
I was volunteered to go to the 'Lights & Sound' show. It starts at about 6:45pm. (Oh wait, did i say that the sun starts to set from 4:30? And that it feels like 9+ from 6pm onwards?). This 'event' was to be held at the Cellular Prison.
It was like an open air amphitheatre, and everyone including the natives and a couple of foreigners were seated at the back, while we watched the happenings unfold.
How do i describe the environment there? Its like A V shaped cluster of buildings(from our angle), and the right side of the V extends longer than the left. Initially everything was dark, then as the story unfolded, certain parts of the 'backyard' started lighting up, and there was speech. Speech from the people involved.
Basically they're trying to tell us the story of how the Cellular Prison evolved, and the heroes of the jail. To put it in simple crude terms from my diver friend, 'The tree was talking to the tower, and the tower was talking to the tree'. I felt that it wasn't that bad, and was pretty interesting.
Except that the flies that kept bitting were kinda relentless, and irritated the heck out of me.
Still, we were glad its over, and went for dinner after that.
On the 3rd day, we went out for dinner, then came back to the ship. The 2 ships were having cocktails, and i was supposed to help out as a server. I donned my No.3, and then came out to the deck? The food was already there, so i just helped with clearing the empty glasses and plates.
It was really interesting to be hosting the cocktail. I must admit its the first time i've seen a female LTC in her no.3. The first time i've seen a LTC batch on a collar. Not to mention the place was very very windy, and i think they must be having a hard time eating. Haha.
It eventually ended, and we all helped to clear up, the tentage as well. Now that took some time.
Eventually slept late cause we played some Monopoly. Sheesh, i think i lost horribly. What are the chances of stepping on Super Tax three times in a row? At the first 3 turns?? =_=
The next day we sailed off... and for the rest of the trip, i managed to lose terribly at Risk and Monopoly. Even the last game of Risk, where i thought i was winning. Hmm, sometimes you let yr opponents go, and they come back and haunt you. Supposed alliances are not what they seem. Winners can be losers in a turn of a few hours~~
So this board games frenzy continued until the last 2nd day...
