We decided to take today off. We were owed one and we usually take Sunday anyway, we were going to build up a few days owed so we can go away but Eve is very understanding about us travelling around a bit and just seems fine to let us take a few days off wherever. We got on our moped and headed for Baga beach. We tried to find a quiet spot to read/type/sleep but they further we got from the main drag the fishier the smell! On the way back to the main drag a guy c...

Light pink walls and a cream ceiling with dark wood. We also told Eve that with the name we should have rose bushes and within minutes we where off to spend money....

Eve really gets things moving over here! Whenever she wants something done she just says what and its done! It can be hard to direct her attention to things you want and if she doesn't check up on things the staff sometimes ignore even her, but it seems like things will start to happen. The boys came over for a swim this afternoon and for Michael o borrow Vincent's Versace suit for a photo shoot he has with a modelling agency in Mumbai. I still wasn't feeling wel...
