Park Hyatt Goa Resort and Spa Cansaulim

well I'm not in anjuna I am in delhi but no time to change the place. A lot to say really and no time. I arrived here last night with a 4 hour delay of my flight out of Goa and then a 50 person long line for pre-paid taxis at the airport which diverted me to the street of course. time of the essence. and I got a cab that took me a mile then handed me over to another (actually autorickshaw) and we had to stop ...

... a group of friends: Sue, Ian, Ian, Danny, Wendy, and John. We went out to a local steak restaurant and had a lovely steak dinner there. New Year's Eve was simply spent by watching the last sunset of 2008 go down on the beach while eating dinner at Leonara's. Then we went home and practically fell asleep watching a movie. The movie ended at about 5 minutes to midnight and we contemplated going back out to the beach ...

... price of a beer at home to give to him which soon accumulated) and before we knew it we were pushing the boat along the beach on the rollers as someone raced around the grab the back one and pull it to the front. Skye and I had also been on a quick mission into town to grab a create of cold beers. The fisherman had told me that we would not see any dolphins as over all his years he had not fishing in the day, he hadn't, he said they were only ...

... that there are beach huts and restaurants along the entire length of the beach. The beach itself is nice although not as wide as the northern Goa beaches. The beauty lies in the hundreds of palm trees gently swaying and reaching over the beach. The tourists were of a different breed as well - it was almost resort like. It wasn't really our scene so we enjoyed the beach, the good food and easy going atmosphere for a couple of days before heading even further south to Kerala.

... little noise other than the crashing waves, birds and ring of the bell on the ice-cream man's bicycle! Very relaxing indeed and a far cry from the dusty, gritty, noisey dung filled streets we have come to expect. The other benefit(?) of the quiet time is that every restauranteur wants your business and so Dave has made many new 'friends' who like to call his name every day as we walk the beach (clearly Ev isn't on the radar as this is India and she is of course ...

So.... this is Goa....Whatever you've heard of it - it's not that bad. Actually not at all. It's easy to avoid any drug temptation. We're staying in village called Calangute, 5 Minutes walking distance from the beach. At the beach there are a lot of indians who walk into the water fully clothed. Only some indian teenagers dare to use their swimming trunks. Fortunately we're not the only western people there. So we thought the indians should be used to seeing women in bikinis but the stare ...

... night and they made me sleep there as well - it was a little bumby so I didn't get good sleep though. Early morning we reached this Surat and unfortuantly they wanted a good amount of money - I had forgot to say my usual "pas bazze nahi hai" to make sure that they don't want me to pay. To wake up I took a nap infront of a Hindu temple before I continued towards Bombay 400 km from there. This day I got my first "Indian" style bath. That works by . It was really nice to ...

I am in Goa in the town of Arambol which is the site of the most northerly beach in Goa. Its also one of the most relaxed beaches with less of both the rave and package tour crowds.

All of which is fine by me as I am just looking to relax after a whirlwind tour of the north. I ...
