Day 17, 18 & 19

Taxi-train, train-taxi, train, tuk tuk GOA-PALOLEM!!! Yay at last!

After three days of travel to get to Goa we eventually arrived, very tired, but excited! Our journey down here was an adventurous one. Our train to Mumbai we sat in CC class which turned out to be pretty damn good, with reclining chairs! Brilliant! Half way down though we came to an abrupt halt, afetr a nasty sound from under the wheels (think it was a dog) my first suspicions of a cow seemed a bit silly!!
We (rog) ended up in the tracks, however me knowing that i would be unable to climb back into the train, i watched Rog playing around on the track- which he seemed to love! Eventually in Mumbai, 8 hour wait until our next train!! Rog had two dinners i ate a vegi roll, and played cards until i won!!! Our sleeper train to Goa was on time for once, although 'CHAI CHAI CHAI CHAI' was all i heard all night! The train arrived on time for once, then we got a dirt cheap train to Palolem beach. This was hilarious, everyone trying to get on the train before it stopped so they could get a seat. I how ever hung back and Rog did the pushing a shoving! So hot!

Palolem wass beautiful, the beach was lovely and we stayed in Flavia paradise for 3 pound a night! brilliant!!

10 Days in Goa!!!! Day 20-30!

Firstly cheap beer, Rog was extremely happy, it was only 80 pence for a big bottle! We had our first fish curry, i picked all the fish out of it, tasted to fishy, but sauce was extremely nice! On the first day we went for a massive walk to Patnem beach, it was good fun, although i burnt my feet on the hot road, running from one shaded area to another didin't help. Rog tried to give me a piggy back but i kept slipping off his back-gross!
For the vast majority of our ten days on Palolem we sunbathed, it was so relaxing, and the sea was brilliant. Quite rough sea which was good fun! We ended up watching the football on a couple of nights, and Rog had his first experience on our third day on the back of a scooter. The bar owner took him to an ATM, clearly wanted us to spend it there!!
We went to an open mic night on our fourth night, was good fun, and the majority of people were brilliant, was so chilled out. However one guy loved being on stage, had a nic name of HOBO, and kept singing songs about HOBO's! He loved it!!

We had amazing breakfast every morning fruit, museli honey and curd, so nice! Ended up having really nice street food, and Roger has taken to sing a song in the stlye of the Jeepers, creepers song about street food! This is when i realise he's hungry or got excited about food!! We had the same food five nights in a row, 40 pence for noodles yum!One lunchtime though, i had a salad from the bar and rog went to the street food place, but his food got licked by a dog, and he still ate it! I've scared him, that he's going to get rabies!! Payback as i keep get bitten by mosquito's, and he says im gonna get Malaria! Justice!

We decided we were to poor to go out drinking so bought a big ottle of rum, and some coke and sat outside our hut on the beach drinking! Lovely, we even treated ourselves to a twix one night!!!

Met a really nice couple from Australia. It turned out they used to live around the corner from us in Wandsworth. Went out for drinks with them, had a really good night. Rog and i suffered massive hang overs not so good!

We found a restaurant along the beach where you could watch films all night, and eat and drink on the beach at the same time! We loved this-sad it may be!

The sunset views were beautiful and one day we walked to the south end of Palolem beach to see the sunset. However we left it to late to get back and gor caught by the tide coming in. I swam around, but Rog ad his camera so he had to walk through after being told he wasn't allowed to go over the bridge! Hilarious- took him ages!

On our last day and after constant nagging from th womem on the beach i got a Henna tatoo on my foot, apparently it's supposed to last four months (we'll see about that)! The lady had some Henna left over, so Rog got a tatoo on his hand. My tatoo looks really nice, rogers on the other hand looks like a pair on Dogs balls on his hand! I couldn't stop laughing, especially as it'll be on his hand for the next four months- brilliant!!!

Sad to be leaving, we got an early train back to Mumbai, we were the only ones on the train so was really good! Eventually got to mumbai, where we proceeded to the airport. For some stupid reason, we thought we could spend 23 hours in the airport intil our flight to Singapore!! This was very unsuccessful, and after two hours Rog went in search for a hostel for the night! After half hour of him not being allowed out the building, he escaped and got to hotel bookings. We got a hotel yay!! Again being harrassed by security when i went to leave (seriously there is no way of getting out of Mumbai airport) we got out and headed to our hotel two mims down the road! Okay hotel, and definately the best 15 pound we've ever spent! Had a briiliant nights sleep, amazing lunch we went back to the airport! Singapore here we come!!!
