An overdiu rest! (groan)
This is a top pick! Diu is a bit of a suprise. It was still ruled by the Portugese, along with Daman and Goa, up until 1961 when India and Portugal actually went to war when India invaded the enclaves to get them back. Obviously Gandhi hasnt had too big an impact on how they ...

Xmas on the Train....
This is a top pick! ... to Diu - yes you read right, a sleeper bus... it's a weird machine, basically a bus with bunk type beds (single and double). Diu, though not like the exotic beaches I've been to before, was a nice place to relax for a while. Building up to New Years ...

final days
This is a top pick! ... end in Diu. With just over a week left before my flight to Poland, I am savoring every morsel that is offered. Diu is ideal, as it is India with all of its negative aspects stripped off. There is no pollution, no lapkas (touts trying to rip off tourists), ...
