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. The beach huts are filling up in time for Christmas and the lobster are being pre-ordered. I've reserved a couple (of huts) for Abby and Chris, and Rob and I, for over the festive period. Tomorrow I'm setting of on a 'mini adventure'. I'm travelling down to the most southern state in India, Kerala. Another 15 hours on a stuffy train! I'm planning to explore the 'Backwaters' and visit the national park before heading back up to Goa via some outstanding waterfalls (Jog Falls). Returning to Palolem by the 20th December to welcome Rob to India!! Abby and I have booked our tickets to Thailand!! We leave India on the 8th January after travelling across the country to Chennai. We can't wait!! I hope your all 'enjoying' the build up to Christmas. Thank you everyone (Mum, John, Ruth etc...) for my advent calendar. When I return to Palolem I'm planning to decorate my beach hut with tinsel and fairy lights. Missing you all heaps
