... , and be on good behavior. These are good people, they work hard to make things as nice as they can, and deserve respect. Palolem and India in general may be like a frontier town in many ways, but that is no reason to act like a cowboy. If you want to ...
Going Native
I leave tomorrow at dawn, though Mama and the family keep encouraging me to stay until the 25th. My travelling "feet" itch so badly that for a time I thought I had tinea pedis, or something. They love me here, this family, and they are good to me. ...
Leaving Palolem. .
... made it hard to leave, also some apprehension about riding solo into the heart of Karnataka and the real hard core India. So I dawdled until noon, checking e-mails, making sure Rocinante was in good working order, stocking up on water and cigarettes, ...
Scams advice, and "The Crew". .
... in about a thousand words or so, and even saved in wordpad. Then suddenly the power went out, as it is wont to do here in India. Unfortunately there was no battery backup at the internet caf I was at. . "Broken" they told me. I thought that, ok, no ...
Rocinante gets to gallop
... packed the night before, and loaded up Rocinante with my guitar sticking up on the sissy bar, bungee corded and chained up. Driving in India is not for the faint of heart. Though the Enfield is one of the fastest things on the road, there are so many ...
Itchy feet and fading smiles.
Palolem is considered to be the most beautiful beach in Goa, and truly it is a wonderful place, but the half-life of beach towns is growing smaller for me, there is only so much relaxation one can have, and even the nicest ways one can spend a day-- ...
Thalis in Temple Town
... vegetable curries and other sauces. The rickshaw back to the hotel was typically hair raising but we made it back to the beach and the hotel to find that the whole area had completely come to life. A really good day, India is certainly looking up! ...
Udupi

Dharmastalasta
Pitaa viela vahan hehkuttaa Karnatakan vuoristokylia, kuten Madikeria ja Seraita. Vuoristokylat ovat aina niin omaleimaisen nakoisia! Madikerissa esimerkiksi oli jopa patsaita ja tilataidetta ja upeita kukkaistutuksia. Seraissakin oli uskomattoman ...
Udupi

2 days in the wet, kissed by the animals
Sometimes traveling can be hard. I dozed a bit on the bus ride to a place somewhere in between Agumbe and Hebri. At this time I even was not sure where about these small villages are situated, Namit and his friends organized the whole trip. I am already ...
Udipi, home of the Masala Dosa
Just a quick one this time, to record that we were here. There's not much to say about it. We had a bit of an argument with the taxi drivers at the station about how much we should pay to come into the centre. They were telling us the ...

Day at the Dentist
Last night, Gary lost a crown from some work that he had done while he was living in India a few years ago. This morning we were directed to one of the local hospital complexes as they might be open on Sunday. We went upstairs to the ...
trying to watch the super bowl
We set the alarm for a little before 5 AM in order to catch the kick off of the Super Bowl. I was so excited as this hotel had WI-FI plus the NFL online stated that the game would be on TV here on both Z sports and another channel, but ...
dream island - St Mary's island
I have been hearing about this Malpe island from about all of the travel blogs on Mangalore. There is a boat trip to the India's famous Basphalt rock island. We started around 9 but we reached only by 11.. There was a turn of events. at the gates of the ...
