Ok - So I've finally left Goa after a rather 'extended' stay. The Plan was to stay for a couple of weeks, now 5 weeks later I'm ready to go. It all started with a text message from Alex, telling me he'd spontaneously booked a last minute holiday out to Goa and would be arriving in a couple of days. At this time I was just finishing a 2 week tour of Rajasthan and was due to spend a week in Mumbai with the girls before heading down to Goa. Due to Alex's surpris...

Sorry it's been so long since I updated my site, I don't really feel as though I'm doing anything that need reporting - apart from relaxing on many of Goa's beautiful beaches and eating far too much delicious seafood, for next to nothing. I'm currently staying in Palolem, which is a beautiful seaside town full to the brim of travellers, beach huts, bars, shacks and old-school hippies.

All the buildings are painted blue to keep them cool and detour mosquitoes. Tomorrow we head to Ranakpur, which wasn't in the i...

We've spent the last few days travelling through Rajasthan. Having left the Taj Mahal we travelled to Ranthambore Nation Park. We arrived at night and struggled to find our way so ended up staying at the 'Pink Palace', which was certainly pink. The drive from Agra to Rathenmbhore took a staggering 8 hours, as the roads were terrible. The driving is pretty scary too; everyone seams to be playing a game of 'chicken'. We've witnessed the most random things on o...
