Yesterday morning we made our way through Anjuna, stopping for a chocolate doughnut for breakfast, and onto the bus for a day at Baga Beach. We arrived at the beach around 11.30am and were immediately surrounded by the watersports salesmen who had tried to talk us into their products when we had visited on Saturday! They even remembered our names! One of them was dressed in a Sheffield United shirt - Laura immediately discarded his services and we decided to use ...

Yesterday we spent the morning lolling on the beach in Anjuna - trying to cover our burnt hands (thats right, HANDS! - we've never had burnt hands before either, so watch out for that, if you come here!). We left the unbearably scorching beach around 1.00pm and headed back to our room to shower and freshen up before getting the bus to Calangute.

We headed down to the beach and got settled on the free sun lounges at 'Janet and Johns's' bar (although no one around looked remotely like a Janet or a John!). We spent the day baking in the boiling sun only breaking away for fresh bananas and pineapple and many much needed dips in the...

First thing yesterday morning (Wednesday 7th) we made our way straight to the Wednesday Tibetant Flea Market, which stood right on the edge of Anjuna beach.

We left the hotel late last night after sharing a taxi with some annoying Australians who didn't like the English (thanks!). We boarded the train at CST terminal (based on St Pancras in London) but set off slightly later at around 11.30pm. Our 3-tier AC carriage was comfortable, althought an argument between some Canadians and Indians, a know it all young British lad and a snoring man did spoil the peace, still we managed to catch a bit of sleep. We arrived a co...
