The next day we took a trip to find beaches. This one is near 'Kola' beach and there was nobody on it. On the way to find the path we came across a mini sized old man wearing nothing but a loin cloth. His son turned up and with what little local language we could gather we were guided to the path to the beach. One the way we passed their feni still - almost as ancient as the old man!

Before food is served the local men & boys visit all the houses and perform a dance (with drumming and singing) with ropes, like a may pole dance. This particular ritual goes all day and night until all the houses have been visited.
