No Itinerary

While packing this morning I noticed that Lucifer wasn’t in his bin. I think he’s in my rucksack.
:/

I’m in Palolem with my buddies from Panjim, it’s another beautiful palm fringed beach. but this time with a pleasant mix of travellers, hippy types and package holidayers. If anyone ever fancies two weeks in goa on the cheap, this is the place to come.
There was a fantastic rainstorm two nights ago which was fun, [...]

I’ve been staying in Pajim for a few days, Panjim is the state capital of Mumbai. It’s a useful hub for getting to places and a nice place to meet people. I’ve met a nice bunch of travelers who I’ve been hanig with for a few days chatting and having nice dinners.
Hooray.

I’m a qualified advanced scuba diver. Yay!
I’m stuck in Bogmalo until Saturday though because I can’t get my card signed until then. Which is a shame as I’m a bit bored here. I never was much of a sunbather.
Met a few nice people though mainly through diving. I’m currently sat in a beachside restaurant watching [...]

Greetings from Bogmalo Beach, right by Dabolim airport in Goa. Bogmalo isa bit less like the palm fringed paradise I was in with Nicole up in North Goa.
It’s actually a bit more like Margate.
It’s very popular with British tourists, especially the “me an’ t’ wife ‘ave been comin’ ‘ere for 15 years” types.
I’m [...]

However, there was a man standing behind the cow catching its wee in a tiny plastic bag. He didn’t seem concerned, [...]

After today I’m officially a free man.
WooHoo!
No idea where I’m supposed to go next though. Maybe some scuba diving is in order.

Hi All,

We were staying in the North of Goa in a place called Mandrem, it is [...]

Hello from a lovely week in Goa…
Apologies for the short post but we are stuck in the airport at Goa. Its been a very stressful week. Sometimes we’ve had to decide where to eat, anything up to three times in a given day. It was horrible waking up and walking [...]

This weekend, I went to a Hill Station called Matheran (which when said in an Indian accent sounds a bit like Matalan :)). Hill Stations are effectively resorts out in the countryside, Matheran is unique in that it (blissfully) doesn’t allow cars so you get the clearest air in the area. To begin with I [...]
