Hello beautiful people.
Had a great last week here in India, finally I got better about 5 days ago, the antibiotics kicked in which I was so relieved about as it could of possibly been an early end to my holidays. Almost LHR bound.
With me regaining a full fitting fit spirit we were more adventurous. One day we rented out scooters (yes they are safe grandma) and toured around, some of the scenery was simply mind blowing. I couldnt believe how green everything is. We went to two beaches and there was nobody on them apart from this stark naked chap who we certainly stuck a question mark on. We also went to a temple which was just a standard one, but it was in mint clean condition, all pink inside and a big statue of Ganesh.
We ended up staying in Palolem for another week, so we have been here for almost 4 weeks. The guys that run our huts are really nice, we have good banter with them. The owner was kind enough to invite us too his daughters 4th birthday. The celebrations were really unique and it was nice to share it with them.
This past week has been a really good one, splashing out quite a bit of cash on various bits and pieces. (steak special medium rare). Ben's now rooted to his ipod as he has downloaded football manager and thinks he is the next Arsene Wenger.
Last night was the world cup final, all the locals shut there shops early and made it their highest prioty to get in front of a TV. Towards the end of the game, every run for India was cheered on by all. When they won the whole beach exploded, (quite literally). Fireworks were set off and people danced and sung their way down the beach. "SACHIN, SACHIN, SACHIN". It was an amazing experience to be in India for when they won, cricket for the local people here is their life. Everybody is over the moon.
Anyway, we are leaving Palolem today to head up to the capital to see the old town then its a flight up to Mumbai to catch our plane to Bangkok. The weather there is terrible at the moment and there is a constant threat of flooding/ landslides etc. But we will cross that bridge when we get there.
Hope everybody is well at home, missing you all.
LOVE
