Arambol fresh water lake & snakes

 
Yesterday we went up the North end of Arambol to the fresh water lake.  This comes down onto the beach, and you can walk up the creek, through various rock pools.  There were loads of fish in the pools and even a couple of water snakes.  We have seen 4 snakes in the past 2 days, 2 caught in fishermens nets and then discarded on the beach and two at the creek.  No one really seems to be able to name them but they say they are poisonous, and thats enough for me.  The pictures below are the ones we saw on the beach.  Also up the little creek with all the little fish, i got a free all over fish pedicure.  We sat in the creek to cool off and they were all over me, Craig caught it on video but the internet is to slow for me to upload it at the moment.


 
   
Over the next couple of days we will be lazing on the beach topping up the tan.  We are hoping taking the overnight bus on Monday to Hampi to see some ruins.
