toms nagging mum Glad to hear from you n Emily. Pls dont write bad comments on the people you didnt approve of.It creates a bad taste in your blog.Pls take note Nana n Grandad r reading too. Easy on the bad words. Photos were disappointing,although I looked at the other STA travellers blog, their photos were not clear either. It must be the STA blogs site.. photo rating 1-10, I'll say 5..... The river in Goa looked very dirty. Goa beach, how is it compared to Palawan? Look after each other and enjooooooooy. Still easy on the beer. LOL Mum x

Rainsford Sounds quality maaate! Particularly jealous of the beach and 60p beers! I particularly enjoyed your description of your nights sleep and all the noises. It reminded me of our hotel room in Nashville, except there was only 1 noise on that occassion Tom... Enjoy the rest of your time in India, make sure you are up at 6.29 everyday! X
