Flea market
This is a top pick!
... arpora night market, with more Indian goods on sale and more authentic feel, hot obviously but where isn't and you don't get hassled as much as your led to believe. and yes we did buy more rubbish, well mainly actually gave money away today but was in a good like and it was worth it, got some great pics of the karnatakan tribal women who come to goa, and bought one lady, stall owner a Pepsi instead of buying from her, she said present, and led us ...
Weeks 3 & 4: Mumbai to Goa!
... random mumbai locations and eating lots of junk food....we ended the evening with roadside pasta.....yummy!!
Eating loads of ****** food finally caught up with me and I spent the whole of tuesday and wednesday recovering in bed as I got the dreaded delhi belly!

Unfortunately I have to report that the frog did not transform into a handsome prince before my eyes! I had to pull it off my face, it was gross!
Later on that evening Kate, Clare ...
Nitty Nora the bug explorer...
... how they don't need volunteers and what they really need is money! Then James arrived (but was quite oblivious to leaving us standed) and he took us to our accommodation...on the back of a scooter with our rucksacks! LOL.

All inall it wasn't a very good start ...
