As it turned out, this guest house was a great place for meeting people, with it's open and shared balconies. I had befriended a Swiss couple and decided to do an outing with them to the crocodile bank, a place where they breed crocs from all over the world. It isn't located very far, and a simple bus ride got us there in less than an hour. It was interesting to see all the crocs, but some of the cages had wayy too many crocs. Overcrowded, something you get used to seeing and being a part of here.
I also had my first swim in the Bay of Bengal. Further down on the beach, away from all the fisher boats, the water was better. At least it was possible to swim in it. The waves proved to be real rough, nothing like what you see in Scandinavia. I was thoroughly punished by them, especially one which just took me and threw me to the floor, hurting my right shoulder a bit. I would have to learn how to handle the big strong waves, something I picked up later on my journey in Sri-lanka.
As it turned out, rain had started to fall, and kept falling. Being on the beach while it's raining is not fun, as it really leaves nothing to do. You kill time by talking to people, reading a good book or just enjoying the rain. Afterall, it's part of nature too :P
