We got up and packed and had breakfast, ready to get in the taxi for 10.30am. Our first stop is Old Goa, apparently there was a festival which started yesterday in Old Goa, its a week long festival and you could see the remnants of it while there. There are a lot of churches and vehicles are not allowed into the centre. It was a strange place because once you walk in through the shops as usual, it was quite quiet. There was no one allowed to sell anything and beg...

We really are taking this not being well in turns, I now have a cold! A month in India and I've got a normal cold! Oh well, much rather this to stomach ache.

There were loads of them and two different types, it was amazing to see but extremely difficult to ...

We set out to the beach, but wanted to go for some lunch at the place we have cake yesterday. We walked up the Main Street where there was lots of beeping of horns and the traffic at a standstill. As we walked past some local people they said there was a star from Hollywood here in Goa. We had read previously that Paris Hilton would have a DJ set at this festival they have in town so we presumed it was her. As we walked up a little more there were security everyw...
