Day 25
Went with Ted to Coco Beach (no photos. forgot camera again)

A fishing beach, the tourist police keep smashing down the shack on the beach. Only a few visitors. Today there was a party of Welsh visitors who played bingo amongst themselves on their sunbeds.
The fishermen use boats as normal or run a net out in a loop, one end on the beach the other carried round and then all pulled up on the beach. Not much was caught probably because people had been swimming off that bit of beach.

The only other bit of excitement was due to the ever present dogs. The dogs that hung around the sunbeds seemed to have an aversion to visitors from the local populace. Fishermen were ignored, Europeans were ignored but any one else was set upon. On one occasion they got their teeth into a Sari and were worrying it, Dominic the shack owner had to come out and get them to let go and free a very upset young lady, however one got the impression he thought it was a job well done.
