This was a good idea. This was a VERY good idea. After a relaxing night at the Ramada in Mumbai, I headed to Goa yesterday - again, with a hangover. That's twice I've done the right from the airport to the beach here with a hangover. Apparently, I don't learn. I arrived around 5.30 and from the moment I walked to the reception, I knew I'd made the right decision. Hang the expense (although, comparatively, I got a very good deal), hang the fact that I might not be able to pay the credit card o...
Canacona, Goa, India cleavers
My last day. 5 weeks ago, this day seemed so far away and now that I'm all checked in, packed and ready to go, I can't believe how quickly it's come around. Managed to hook up with the Canadian girls Monica and Jaclyn yesterday which was lovely; they came and spent the day with me yesterday by the pool here as they are staying in Palolem. It was nice to have some company. I think they enjoyed experiencing the high life for a day! It's certainly been a lovely last three days and despite the ex...

We've been keeping busy day by day and realise that today is our "1 month in India anniversary, 6/6/6. eerie...... Recent events, hmmmm, Mel hiffed Ant's laptop onto the soft marble floor after receiving another mystery electric shock. That's the third one we have had, always from oddball places, we have decided to refrain from using the sketchy hot water heater thingy in the bathroom,,, it will remain "OFF" Went on a scrotum torturing day trip on the scooter to Cotigao wildlife park, where w...

We flew from Kathmandu to Delhi weather worn and moth eaten from our travels around China, Tibet, Nepal and were looking forward (very,very much) to some R&R in our 5 star hotel. we took in Old and New Delhi. Visiting Red fort, Jasma Masjid, Chandni Chowk, Raj Ghat, Gutuab Minar, Tomb of Mughai Emporor Humayun, India Gate, Presidents house, parliment House and Secretariat Buildings.
We travelled on the New Delhi Railwayon the Shatabdi Express train to see Fatepur Sikri, Jama masji...
After finishing our stay at Parikrma School in Bangalore, we flew from Bangalore to Goa. We started out by staying in a hotel right on the beach, for Rs.250 (~$6) a night for a very basic room. Turns out, we caused something of an argument in the internet cafe, and Goa turned real sketchy real quick. So we decided to stay somewhere safer. This ended up being the Intercontinental Resort in Goa, which had a great deal as it was monsoon season. This place was freaking amaaaaazing. We went from f...

... produce the white peppercorns. Red and green are picked and left to dry out in the sun in order to produce the black peppercorn.We met our first elephant here and had water trickled down our backs as part of their tradition (we ended up with wet underwear but it was refreshing haha). The Hindu temples are interesting but we're always very wary of how we behave and of not offending people so we tend not to be too inquisitive. A guard at one of the temples offered us a swim in the holy pool ...

... we found a nice hut that they were just putting the finishing touches to so we took it and then a few days later moved into one right at the front with a lovely sea view from the balcony. We spent the first week trying to get tans for the wedding and chasing up Ranjan the flaky wedding planner. He took us to see the place where we'd have the wedding and it all seemed like it was actually going to happen. We'd found Ranjan on the Internet and he ...

Goa is a very small Indian state located on the west coast of the country. It was a Portuguese colony up until about 40 years ago. The culture here is completely different from that of the rest of India for most people are Catholic. The Portuguese left their mark architecturally too. Goa is like a different country ...

... the night away, in a bar called Cafe del Mar which I'm told is a copy of the one in Ibiza? Anyway this was my first new year in the sun and I hope it won't be my last, it was fantastic and the most fun I've had for a while after the difficulties with my valuables getting stolen. After this I returned to the volunteering lifestyle. The camp base is in a mainly Indian beach resort called Colva. The kids are great, so affectionate, climbing all over us and just being adorable. In ...

... Goan lunch served on banana leaves. It was one of the tastiest meals we have tried since being away. We have also visited a few Hindu temples in the area, one dedicated to the god Sai Baba who brings good fortune. Sai Baba is only a minor deity in Hinduism. The most important deities are the creator Brahma, the preserver Vishnu and the destroyer and recycler Shiva. Shiva has many wrathful manifestations so it is wise to ...
