[Continued from Visit to Puri, Bhubaneswar and Chilika (Part - 4)] We reached Puri at around 5 pm. We took an auto rickshaw to get to our hotel. But the condition of the sky was not good. We felt that soon it will start raining. I had decided that as it was too early, so we would go directly to out hotel and have bread as dinner. As soon as we went back to the hotel it started raining. We were quite tired. So we went straight to bed. At night we had bread and biscuit as dinner.
The next morning we woke up at 10 am. After having breakfast we took rest. Then we had lunch at Savera restaurant. The food was good and the price was very low. That evening we stayed at our hotel. That night also we ate at Savera restaurant. The next day we went to the sea beach. That day the waves were even higher. And what more! The water of the sea was cool unlike that of New Digha. The sea waters of Digha were warm and hot. We also ate sweets from sweet sellers who were roaming near the sea beach. The sweets were very good. After having a great time at the sea we went back to the hotel. From the hotel we enjoyed the wide view of the sea. Then we ate veg thali at Ruchira restaurant. As we had booked tickets for our return journey back to Kolkata on the next day, so in the evening we went out and bought some items like biscuits, potato chips etc. After having dinner we came back to our hotel.
The day after we went to the Swargadwar market. There we bought Khajas from Kakatua. Kakatua is a shop famous for Khajas, one of the speciality sweets of Puri. Then we had lunch and came back to our hotel. We packed up all items. In the evening when we went to Ruchira restaurant to have our dinner. After that as we were walking back towards our hotel I felt that the wind from the sea had stopped. When we had first came to Puri there was a flock of tourists but as days passed by many of them went back and now very few were still there. It seemed to me that as if the sea was also feeling sad. We came back to our hotel. We boarded the Sri Jagannath Express from Puri station. It departed at 22:30 hrs and reached Howrah station at 08:30 hrs.
