We're still in Palolem - once you're here it's not easy to leave, but we're going to Hampi tonight on a sleeper bus and spending a day there, then back here for more sea sun and swimming. We've finally found an Internet place that has a reasonably fast connection, so we'll be able to do more uploading and updating when we get back from Hampi.

We are both steadily improving our tans, although the number of mozzy bites is always rising too. The people here are lovely, our waiter from Nepal is very friendly and often comes to see us for a chat. Living is cheap and easy, our hut is about 2.50 pounds (no sign on the keyboard!) a night, and food for the day is about 5 each. Neither of us have been ill yet which is a minor miracle since we're trying to eat local food as much as poss.

Well that's all for now, hope everyone reading this is well, have a good Christmas!
