... they are going to get wet, to which he said &#8220;Luggage, 200 rupees&#8221; and we literally told him to eff off, he's not getting money, to which he said &#8220;How much?&#8221; To which we said &#8220;Your mother&#8221; and boarded the bus. Luckily he didn't understand. <br>And so we sat through the night, our ankles slowly swelling, sweating and cold at the same time, getting some sleep in in the semi-reclining chairs as the bus bounced along the road towards Bombay, the gateway to India.

... po plazi kam se jim zachce. Nahaty, bez klobouku na hlave, na tom pernym slunci, co ja tak vydrzim maximalne dve hodiny. V americe, Margeb kdyby furt pracovala pro ten ourad na vochranu deti, by jim ty deti urcite sebrala a matinky by dala zavrit. Ale deti litaj po plazi kazdej den. Sou stastny a kdyz nektera z maminek vypne telefon, tak posbira dve az tri co sou nejbliz a de s nima do more. Tam je vyhazuje do vzduchu, a topi v tech vlnach, kterejch ...

... He was very drunk when we found him in the afternoon, and ordering a samosa gave him troubled expression. After a phone call his friend arrived with then in bag for us. The streets were all very European and as it was Sunday nicely peaceful, wells and fountains on each street corner. Buildings painted in pastel colours. Still enough for one day and the next morning we took the bus out Cooper Out Love Dan &amp; Kat

After visiting the Spice Plantation near Ponda, we instructed our taxi to continue to Panaji, the capital of Goa, where we got out to look around the old town. I had been to Goa twice before, but that was in the mid 1980's. Once I had gone there with my school to cycle in the beautiful Goan country side, I believe it was in Feb 1985. But there was little that ...

... chai wallahs (tea sellers) all day long. Entertaining and tasty. South of India, not all that far from the equator, the land is lush, hot, sticky, sucky, sweaty hot, palm trees, coconuts and thick green veg. As one creeps slightly north, earth's west-coast aridness comes into play, and it becomes dustbowl city. One vision remains, firmly implanted: sunrise, over a bridge, a dead, bloated man floats, spread-eagled, face up, down the river, down below, the purple swelling of ...

... I thought I was going to follow the festival for 4 days, but I think I will only go to the last day parade, hopefully it will get better with some practice! So am now at one of the several beaches of Goa. Wow! This feels more like Thailand than India. All these chicks walking around with very very little sexy outfits! I feel quite out of place with my old dirty clothes. I don't even have a bathing suit to go to ...

... Helsinki-Vantaalle. Toivottavasti keretaan aamulla ensimmaiseen junaan, jolloin Kuopiossa oltaisiin ennen yhta. Kyllahan siita viela luennoille kerkeaisi. Reissu on ollut mahtava! Pienia haavereita ja takapakkeja on sattunut, mutta mita pienista eihan ne pienetkaan meista. Kolme viikkoa on mennyt hujauksessa eika yhtaan huonoa paivaa ole ollut. Ei olla edes saatu tappelua aikaan! Ja kotiinkin on kiva palata. Suomessa nahdaan! Mari &amp; Aino kiittaa ja kuittaa!

... saw paddi fields, we saw big green lushus forests, we saw 1000ft high water falls, we think they were the Jog Falls, we saw some amazing lakes, lined with palm trees, we drove up high winding roads, it was an amazing journey.We saw dusty poverish villages, we saw bright busy working villages, we saw amazing community spirit, we also saw villages just about surviving. We saw children pumping water from the ground, women carrying massive ...

It had been nearly for the 2 months since we had been planning for a grand excursion to North India, tantalizingly scheduled just after my exams. If the signs in the beginning were anything that would indicate the success of my journey, they were not very encouraging. my flight to ...

... that was the end of our first stay in Goa, Now if going to a beach and sitting on a beach-chair surrounded by overweight, G-String wearing, skin like leather Europeans, Goa is the place for you, but we both thought that the beach area was **** and could not wait to leave. It was also the most expensive place in India that we have been to so far. Sadly, we have to come back to the area, but next time, we will not be going to the beach !!!
