P: Hello, hello...

here we are, in Murud, about 200km south of Mumbai. We took boat from Gate of India, in Mumbai, then 2hour bus trip and we arrived in this small town. Finding the place to sleep wasn't that hard and it doesn't cost much either(4euro for hut with seated toilets and shower). We're taking it easy here, not doing much. Ipa is fully recovered from her stomach so we can do more. Beach is long and empty, kind of windy during the day. Today we went for swim, water was very warm. It's strange to see Indians going to water almost fully dressed. I saw guy, he went to sea in his pants and t-shirt! As i said not many people swim. Ipa is still exotic stuff for locals, they stare a lot. Some of them want to take pictures with us, like it was blessing to have photo with white people. Maybe it's question of prestige, i guess.

Anyway, we "plan" to stay here for coulpe of days, just to enjoy the sun and easiness. Got bit sunburned today, both of us, but otherwise we're fine. Tomorrow, we planning to rent bikes and together with Swiss couple, which we met on the way here, we want to explore bit of a surroundings.About 10km off the beach, in the sea, is some old fort, where we'll go too.

Sorry about the photos, eeerh, that there aren't any, but the computers here a soooo slow, that it would take ages. But definatelly later on from somewhere else.

Moi,

sounds like the start wasn't the best but now it seems better. Sounds great - beach, sun and relaxing.

I hope it'll continue the same way!

Hugs,
Niina
