With 2 days of continuous
riding, a day off was what was needed. Our day started quite late, we strolled leisurely
in the lanes of Pondy, enjoyed some serene moments on the promenade. We had a
nice English breakfast in a quaint restaurant.
While walking back to our hotel, we found a
car wash center and decided to get our bikes washed. One by one we cleaned the
chain-sprockets of our bikes and then took them for a wash. We got a nice
wholesale rate deal. The clean bikes were
gleaming in the late morning sun. We took them back to the hotel. Now it was
our time to wash ourselves and Relax again!

Then we decided to
explore the nearby area. It was getting a bit cloudy and was going to rain. We
rushed to explore Paradise beach. It was a beautiful cloudy and breezy weather.
The splashing sound of the waves and the expanse of the sea were fascinating.

We returned to spend
some time on the Pondy Promenade.

| The Rocky Beach |
The best thing to do here
is to sit on the huge boulders which line up the sea and watch the waves crash
on the boulders below..one can spend hours doing this. At a distance you can
see a jetty going in the sea and on the other side the entire lit up promenade…this
is just mesmerizing. The sea was also a bit rough and this was adding up to the
drama of the place!

By evening, the promenade was alive with tourists and locals who had all come for an evening stroll. Being Christmas time, the church on the street was nicely decorated. The way the people have maintained the place is just amazing.
