Nearly the end... or is it...? Hello once more from Anjuna in North Goa. We arrived back at Paulina and Erwin's Guesthouse last night, to the same happy welcome - the family exclaiming over how tanned we are, as we were a lovely white colour three weeks ago.

It's incredibly noticeable how many new shops and restaurant...
