An institution here along the promenade of Puducherry, a former French colony on India's eastern shore, Le Cafe is a 24 hour dining establishment. A former customs house when boats docked at its doorstep today it provides an eclectic menu with emphasis on French style breads and pastries.
On a warm, humid, breezy evening with tourist and local crowds alike flocking the sea side I opted for some butter scotch ice cream.
Two small scoops in a bowl. Perfect.
From the hotel I am staying at it is a mile walk but required a couple of right and left turns. When asked a local elder where the ocean was he said- what is ocean?
The only acceptable noun understood here is beach or sea. So I was momentarily swimming naked until it hit me to simply ask for the beach.
Spent an hour walking the length of the break wall which has sand dumped on it to give the illusion of a beach.
