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. So today we had a good walk out of Povorim to a shop which James had read about. It was a shop which sold pretty much everything and had a cafe attached, next door there is supposed to be a furniture shop. It was 1km walk but that was fine, as usual we got taxi shouted at us quite a lot but they don't seem t...

James is feeling a little unwell at the moment so we took it slowly this morning. We seem to be taking it in turns with being unwell! We had our breakfast at the hotel then went back to our room to do some reading and planning for Thailand. We then went out near the swimming pool for a while to make use of the wifi, it's pretty poor though so only really get snippets each day. It got to about 1.45pm when we decided to get the free shuttle bus from the hotel to ...

We had arranged yesterday to take a boat trip this morning. This way we can get the most out of the moving day, so we were up and out by 8.30am to get to the office to pick us up.

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

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...

We made use of the scooter again today, there was a place that did homemade cakes etc. So we went there mid afternoon and treated ourselves. We had read there was a beach a little further south of Candolim called Coco beach so thought we'd go for a look. On the way there we drove alongside a stretch of water and there was a large area to stop with steps downwards. There was just one man fishing stood on the steps and his wife sat on a chair at the top. We stopped...
