The Lonely Planet states that one of the highlights of Dhaka is “getting the hell outta there”. While I do think that is a bit harsh, I have been craving some clean(er) air and a little less chaos and so last weekend headed south from Dhaka to Cox’s Bazaar for fellow Aussie, Lindy’s birthday bash.
Cox’s Bazaar is apparently the world’s longest (uninterrupted) beach – I’m still working out how/if that can be true – and although it is hard to measure up to our West Aussie beaches at the best of times – it was nice to be near ocean and a lot of greenery.
Highlights included swimming in salwar kammezes at the beach together with a group of children; eating yummy seafood and dancing in the darkness on the sand at the “Mermaid Café”; having a ride home in the back of a paddy van and getting in trouble from a policeman when we tried to get back to Lindy’s place at 2am (oops) – and having the most comfortable bus ride I’ve ever had – with so much leg room and built in massagers in the
chairs!!
