So after our day of island adventure, the next day we stayed closer to the area where our little hut was located, and explored Himchory (or Himchary or Himchari -spelled differently all over the place), a part of Bangladesh south of Cox Bazaar. The big attraction was supposed to be a beautiful waterfall, but either we were at the wrong waterfall or this is some kind of misunderstanding or something - the waterfall was pretty weak.
The view after climbing the (surprisingly steep at points) stairways to the lookout, however, was gorgeous.
At the top is a little place with some fruit and knick-knacks (at the bottom is another little market) and we had some delicious watermelon, enjoyed the view, and had about 100 people pose for photos with us. We also ran into a friend of Atticus’ from school - small country, and even smaller bideshi community!
Like we said, there was also a cute little market at Himchary and we did some shopping and looking around. Really, this place had everything Cox Bazaar has without the massive crowds (although remember crowded is a relative term).
Jon got a hat, Sam some sandals and some gifts for friends here, and Atticus got a fan and some little seashell animals. We had some drinks, Jon got in an argument with a guy for telling him about the charge for the bathroom after the fact, and afterwards we went across the road to the beautiful beach to relax a little while we posed for about a hundred more photos with people.
Here are some random pictures from the Himchari area:
