Busy with Kolkatans at Xmas

Puri gets very busy over the Christmas and New Year periods. I arrived the week before Christmas and struggled to find somewhere to stay. Puri is very popular with Kolkatans who you can spot a mile off as they walk around on the beach with giant belly's hanging out and man-boobs whilst the locals are stick thin. Be warned that Puri gets booked out during this period so you may want to pre-book to avoid disappointment.

The Sea Beach.

I request all the Tourists to take professional help of the Nulias( the Tribal Fishermen) if you are new swimmer as there is QUICK SAND in some place of the Beach . These are tricky and known only to the local swimmers. For rs.20/- they will give you pleasure of wave bathing for about 30mts. Pleas bargain the rate they may ask for rs100/- also depending on your mood to enjoy the sea.
Otherwise, please bath in where all others are taking bath. Thats' the safest bet.
