India!

So,
finally I have started posting from my travels. We flew into mumbia early on the 26th and stopped in a couple of nice hotels before catching the 6.55 AM train to Goa on the 27th.
Fro a 10 hr hourney it was great, sleep, copious ammounts of CHAI and chatting to some interesting goans, one of which has given us his holiday home to stay in at Candolim laterthis week.

Anyway - we got to the hippy resort of Arambol olate in the evening to find that the guesthouse had given our room away. We spent the next hour searching the area for rooms - and saw some horrors. Imagine a cross between the beach (where that nutter commits suicide in the dorm) and trainspotting.

After a quick phonecall - we got a taxi to Morjim and stopped in anthonys huts at the goan cafe. I wont sicken you with an image - but the view in the morning was amazing (have a look on the other travel blog in the links menu).

Whilst I was there I fashioned a garden wire cradle to charge the I-pod from a dodgy socket - but took no photos. Although very crude, I have resolved to never not take an image of any mini project again!
