Star Beach Resort Goa

... one particular night, having had a few beers Kirsty slept right through the night whilst I sat worrying that any minute the beach hut roof would be ripped from over us and we would have to run whilst trying to avoid the falling coconuts that crashed on the roof intermittantly. Luckily the storm cleared and we got in two good days of sunshine, and the dayglo white Scottish look was no more.

... Pool side Bar and soaking in the heated pool.





After a long day in the waters finally we were back to our room and got ready for the dinner which was as usual a very good spread with chicken and duck.

For the return back, we decided to take the flight to Bangalore. This was more a instant decision over the train . We booked the Kingfisher morning flight from goa to bangalore at 8:00 AM.

... managed to get second class which was basically a dorm room on wheels, with about 6 of us bunked up in a space only marginally bigger than your average stationery cupboard! But we got chatting to a nice couple who were traveling doing the same route as us only the other way round so they gave us loads of hints and tips. When we arrived we headed straight for a small town in the North called Anjuna (in one our most dodgy taxi ...

... we left the cafe an innocent looking girl came over to us and wanted to put a bit of powder on our cheeks. When we bent down to let her, her brother, mother and father bombarded us unexpectedly and we were covered in powder. When we were walking down the road everyone was shouting "Good Colour, Happy Holi". Karl got loads more powder thrown on him because i was smart enough to try and avoid it. However when we were in the cafe later and i went over to the call ...

... we heard the fireworks begin and we knew it was the New Year. We walked out to the beach to watch the show, amazing. We were at the far end of a two kilometer crescent shaped bay. All along the beach there were various fireworks going off over the water with the club music blaring. The next day we slept in and went into recovery mode on the beach. Today we are off to a small beach near by named Patnem, which is less ...

Our last day in Goa before we head South to Fort Cochin, Kerala. A total of 16 very relaxing days in Goa and we are packed (the rucksacks seem to be growing!) ready for the trip to Kerela tonight at 11pm - 15 hours by train, should be an adventure in itself. Original plan was to head to Kerala last Thursday but all the trains were booked (currently local Indian holidays), so hey ho we were ...

... english wasn't great so we had a conversations which was mostly made up of single words. I tried to remember the name of the bollywood actress from Nepal that was in Dil Se but couldn't remember (and still can't). Bollywood aside: in the news in London and Mumbai was a story about the actress Shilpa Shetty who is on a reality TV show in Britain called Big Brother. Apparently some of the British particpants have been making racist ...

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. However even in the rest of Goa the days of all night beach parties seem to now be a thing of the past with recent government noise ordinances prohibiting music after 10pm. All of which is fine by me as I am just looking to relax after a whirlwind tour of the north. I ...
