Journal Entry:

Finished packing, said goodbye to everyone and caught a taxi in to the jetty. At the jetty I installed myself in the cafe next to the dive shop and socialized with the DMTs or read until the ferry showed up a little after ten. Ueli, from the dive club was also going to Port Blair so I tagged along with him. We set up camp in deck class down among the mountains of bananas, coconuts, and who knows what else that passes as cargo - saved us nearly fifty percent (8 rupees - about ¢15). The trip took just over four hours. I shared a taxi with Ueli to his hotel and got a room. The hotel conveniently has an internet cafe so I spent the next three hours wading through 175 emails (140+ of which were junk), and uploading my journal and pictures. I had a great dinner with Ueli and then wasn't feeling to social so went to bed early.
