New Year - Palolem
Well, we have been here a week or so now, I am having trouble writing my blog as the Indian government keeps blocking blogging sites. This makes it bloody hard to log on and it normaly fails : (
We have been doing the groundhog day thing every day now, breckfast, beach, bar, bed so its quite hard to consider moving on although we still have a bit of ground to cover in the next 3 weeks or so.
Palolem is cool, New years eve was packed with millions of fireworks being set off all over the place and every one partying on the beach. Due to terrorist threats in Goa there has been Police with guns on the beach all the time but they have not botherd anyone and no one has botherd them.
Me and Dee got very drunk new years , obviously, but the partying that we have heard about in Goa seems to be no more . The authorities are sick of stoned hippies dancing for 3 days straight on the beaches so its all very relaxed and we have not even been getting a sniff of a joint which is a first in India.
We is a bit disapointed as we were looking forward to a bit of a boogie after the travel across conservative India but it looks like we will have to wait a few weeks till we get home before we can go boogie!
Still its very nice here and we have spent 7 days now working on the tan and eating to much. I am stuffing myself on seafood every day and its great, giant prawns : )
Every day is a big sunset over the arabian ocean and its beautifull to be sure.
Its all starting to quiten down now , a lot of people were here just for New Years and the Indian holiday makers are back at work so the place is returning to the sleepy village atmosphere.
We took a boat trip in an outrigger dugout and went Dolphin spotting,saw loads ,then went to a
really pretty beach that can only be accesed by boat, we may go back and spend the night there.
So I think we will be here for a bit, making the most of the lazy beach bum life as we go home 3 weeks today and reality will bite for sure; although both of us are looking forward to coming back and enjoying some normality!
It will be odd to be going home but also great to see everyone. We have gotten the travel bug out of our systems ,for now anyway! We are thinking of South America next year maybe....
Not much else to report. We will be here doing the same thing for the next few days and then we have to make our way south to Kerela, our last adventure, we will be cruising the Kerelan Backwaters which are supposed to be fantastic. After that we will spend the 21st, my birthday, on a really nice beach on the very southern most point of India and then flying from there to Bombay for 2 days and then home. Time is flying.
Also, I got a tattoo ; )
