Hello Ingerland! Well we've had a busy few days this week, we hired some scooters for our last few days here. They were a bit scrump mind. The front suspension on dads was shot and the brake lights on both of them were b*****ed, but they were bloody good fun whizzing around the crazy local traffic past cows and elephants! Didn't realise how much I missed riding a bike, you can't beat it! We've left calangute and were now at palolem beach in south goa. We've got...

They were quite big ones, about 6 or 7 meters long, they soon b*****ed off when we arrived though. We also saw giant fruit bats which I particularly...

Well I'm really starting to get into this now, it's total leisure! We've moved on to another hotel now, it's alot cheaper and alot nicer. Our first one in goa was 2500 rs which is £34 for both of us, it was one room and a bathroom. We've now got one bedroom a kitchen and dinner and a bathroom and two balconies all for 1000rs a day which is £14 and there is a pool!
