Thought that we'd finally start a blog, yes maybe a little to late for Sri Lanka but just in time for our 2 month trip around South East Asia. First Stop Goa, (West coast of India)
Wikkipedia on Goa: Renowned for its beaches... LIES!!!
Having spent 6/3 months in a country as beautiful as Sri Lanka coming to Inida has been quite a shock for us! Getting off the plane into Inida we didn't see much difference but the very sleepy drive showed some signs..... We arrived in Anjuna (North West Beach in Goa). For anyone intested in the news, you'll see it was the same beach in which a 15 year old girl was killed in February.... Anyway enough with that!
Found a little (clean) room and did many hours of sleeping that day! flew out overnight.... Day 2:Hit the beach, not clean, not white, not blue sea, not much going for it. Day 3: Went Panjim(capital of Goa) to book train tickets to Mumbai and onto Ahmedabad. Not clean and so on, also found out that trains were full, unless of course we wanted to go travel lowest class.... not for 29 hours no. Booked a plane to Jaipur instead.
There are a few heartbreaking things, the amount of stray animals and so many beggars. Some of them are more creative(bastards) which ever you prefer. A Group of men as you walk to the beach will pretend you have something on your ear and ask to put a metal rod inside to clean it out for you.... at a cost. luckily were not stupid..... but some are.
So far no illness... Touch wood. Few rumbles but were putting that down to malaria tablets. On the bright side food is really good, had some nice meals and some good nights eating out.
Today is out last day here as we fly to Jaipur tomorrow. Will keep you posted from there!
