Goa Inns - Reviews and Rates

I think I got the dates and times wrong. This is the last day. The weather is consistant. We are copper brown but the peeling has statrted. We go for yoga one last time. The guru catches on to the fact that I don't breather when he says so, bu NOBODY tells me when to breathe. We end up with a few small muscle tears from trying too hard. A last v...

After our busy time in the villages we decided to visit the coast and attempt to get a tan! Arrived at the station late (what a surprise!) the train was in so we quickly had to peg it across the lines drag our bags on, then duck and weave though the busiest train i have ever been on to try and find our carriage (i think we beheaded a few people ...

The flight today from Mumbai to Goa with Kingfisher was pleasant, except that my cold gave me some nose bleeding. The ride from the airport to Baga, where I am staying gave an idea of the amazing scenery: The sea, lots of green and lakes. This is the first day I am traveling alone as a woman in India and it is noticeable. Just this afternoon I h...

Namaste, Escape from Delhi - we had boarded a train about to head north. Looking around our cabin, it was like a scene from Schindler's List. Bodies piled everywhere and the vile stench of sewage that was further compounded by the sticky heat. We truly felt as though we were about to be hauled off to Aushwitz. One look at each other was enough; ...

Arrived in Goa on the Saturday and met up with my mates Neil and Johnny from Batley, who were over for a two week holiday. Anthony also arrived from Mumbai. It was great to see Neil and Johnny again and they haven't changed a bit. Then again it's only been about 4 month since I last saw them. Much of the next two weeks we spent eating, drinking ...

Well, here we are soaking up the sun in the former Portuguese enclave. Goa has totally different character to the rest of India, with whitewashed houses, lush palm groves and paddy fields. It is a great escape from the madness of the city and the long travelling hours we have been doing. We only intended to take a short stay here to recharge, bu...

Kathmandu. Stayed in the Thamel district where Pete, Voytek and Lisa have stayed before. The backpackers usual place of stay. Touts everywhere. Shops selling everything geared towards tourists. Wandered round here for a couple of days, including a visit to the 'Monkey Temple' after saying goodbye to Lisa who was flying homeward. Went for lads ni...
