Well Ricky and I have been in Palolem now for 5 days without Nick but we have had an amazing time, we met all the Aussie guys from Mumbai and some new people also who have been in Goa for months, they have told us loads of stuff to do but we have managed to do nothing other than book a different room and get wasted nearly every night.

our first night we went to a bar called Cafe del Mar which is open 24/7, got absolutely wasted and didnt get in until 5.30am, met loads of people though, Dean form OZ, Keira from Surrey, Ben who i think is Canadian?

next day we just chilled on the beach and drank s*** loads of water as we were pretty hungover, its the old monk rum it messes us up!

second day we moved from a beach hut that was 600Rp per night to one a bit more central on the beach called Waves beach huts we are now only paying 300Rp per night so 2GBP each and it has en suite complete with cold shower which is ace for hangovers and the fact its about 35 degrees every day and we sweat all day! We have lso found the best restaurant in Palolem where we have eaten about 6 times breakfast, lunch and dinner! deffo recommend it its called Round Cube if you ever come here people!

went to Cafe del Mar again in the evening got pretty wasted with the lads from Mumbai but no ladies so home early at 4am!

woke up at 12.30am and filled out my Travelogue with Goog one of the Aussie lads he is cool and has been trsvelling for 4 years i found him inspiring and he told me about gettin worldwide work too so i may be away a tad longer than planned!

most stressful thing i have done in 5 days has been shopping for some new boardies so hard just couldnt make my mind up!

went to a beach rave highly illegal but it was awesome and we met a couple during the day who we went with, Beau and Sally form Jersey!

they have introduced me to Honeybee Brandy it is sweet and we drank it straight which f***ed me up, at the party there was a boulder in the middle of the dancefloor that i must have fell over about 6 times and have subsequntly cut the sole of my foot open and split my head a bit great night i say, it was so dark trying to walk back at 5am that i had to hold some lads hand i met called Dave but it was funny!

next day once again nothing apart from decide where we were gonna eat for the day, did play some cricket with some locals on the beach, i was s*** and only hit the ball twice the second time i got caught out!

just watched Chelsea again in the evening and had a quiet night glad i did as i woke up in the middle of the night with the s***s but it felt good coming out, had the texture of Cow Pat can you imagine?

love

Josh, Nick and Ricky
