Woke up surprisingly easy this morning at 5am, maybe because we hardly slept all night and that we were stuck to the bed sheets it was that hot! Now I know why we weren't given a bed sheet to put over us! Opened the windows to let some air in but that didn't work! Shower... No water in the tank! Scott went to see if someone was awake but all the lights where off. We got ready, and much to my surprise Jon Jon was there at 6am waiting for us to go to the bus st...

We finally arrived, we had to walk miles again to get to the exit! There were a lot more Europeans and Americans about than I thought there would be, I never imagined Kerala being a big tourism place compared to Goa, but apparently it's the county that brings in the most tourism every year! A tuk tuk driver spotted us on the fly over and was insiting he takes us to fort cochin, we just went with it because it was hot and we were tired and needed a lift there an...

I really don't like the waiting game with these trains. When we book the train tickets they are wait listed, meaning that the tickets have sold out but they release more when the chart is prepared 3-4 hours before departure of the train, although your chart position can change before the chart is prepared so I'm guessing people cancel their trips and that how we move up. This time our booking status was wait list number 2/3 and the day before we were confirme...

A little nervous this morning to say the least when I couldn't find the lizard... Where the hell has Larry gone! If I take him to Kerela in my bag and he randomly pops out I will not be a happy bunny! Back is in half, the mattress just as well not have been there, it was like lying on concrete and the pillow is like rock! Definitely in need of a back massage on the beach Sunday morning! Booked our flight from kochi to Mumbai today for the 21st December. Took ...

Morning taxi to Mandrem, our last stop in Goa.I wanted a taxi for 400 rupees for 40km, couldn't get it so had to settle with 600 rupees. The roads got quieter as we climbed up the hills, it's a tourist area up here but we didn't see one tuk tuk coming into morjim - mandrem, and still none in arambol. Only hundreds of mopeds everywhere, tourists driving a lot of them. I would be scared to death to get on the back of one of those, especially with Scott's bad driv...
