I started off with the north side which was quite pleasant. There is almost no traffic, palm trees lining the street, only little and cosy villages and the one and other Portuguese church (Diu used to be Portuguese).
At the west end of the island I went to Gomtimata Beach, where I met a Swiss couple. We spent a few hours at the beach, which was about 500m long and absolutely deserted. It did not have any rocks or seaweed and was really nice!
Cycling back from the beach to Diu town was really hard as I ran out of water and there were no shops on the road. Further, it was really hot and there are no trees on the south side of the island.
I met up with the British couple, the British chap and the Portuguese girl (whom we met on the bus from Ahmedabad) at 6am at La Bella Vista. We got to know an Australian guy from Melbourne. He must be around 60 years old and considers himself semi retired. He works half year and travels half year. He told me that I can consider myself Australian, as I have already been to Melbourne twice. He also gave me the advice to tick "Yes" at the question about a criminal record on the Australian visa application form!
Later, we had BBQ-ed fish at the place next to La Bella Vista (both places, the bar and the BBQ are part of St. Thomas church - yeah, in Diu they know how to use a church). The fish was yummy with heaps of ginger!
