Its been about 3 weeks since I last wrote and since then I've been pretty busy. It started with a 20 day tour of north India. The group was 12 tourists who were, for the most part, really happy, friendly people.

We started in Delhi and then went to Jaisalmer, jodpur, Jaipur, udaipur, pushkar, Agra and varanasi.

Along the way we saw countless temples, mosques and palaces. One of which was the taj mahal in Agra. It was really pretty but in some ways I prefer to walk around the towns and meet the locals then to see these tourist sites.

We've also travelled on various different modes of transport. Tuk tuks or autorickshaws are the most common and popular. But we also travelled by sleeper train (3 of them. One even took 20 hours!) and even a camel when we went on a desert safari in pushkar.

I could go on and on about the tour but time is short and I want to make the most of the beach here in goa.

So far I've been here for about 3 days and I've done some sun bathing, swimming, walking to nearby beaches, had a couple of massages, taken a boat ride out to an offshore spot in the sea to do some fishing and swimming.

I've been travelling with a girl I met on the tour called Mette. We plan to do some yoga and maybe rent some bikes over the next few days.

It's been a really really good start to the holiday and I'm a bit worried that china wont be as fun :(

I hope to hear from everyone soon and sorry for the delay in posting the blog but I've had so much to do.

The picture is from where I'm sitting at the moment - a beachside bar right by the sea. The picture quiality of my phone doesn't show off goa too well but I assure you it's wonderful.

All the best.
