Hello
As you can tell by the title for today's blog, we have arrived in Goa. And it's slight contrast to Mumbai - our guest house overlooks the sea on a cliff edge -it's beautiful here.
That's not to say I didn't emjoy Mumbai though - we met a taxi driver on day 2 who called himelf "Bali the Great" - and he was! He spoke really good English and showed us around all the main sights like Ghandi's house and even the biggest slum in Asia. Yesterday we caught the boat to Elephanta Island off the coast on Mumbai - buddist caves. Jake, Simon and I kept getting approached by Indians who wanted their photos taken with us. We felt like celebrities!!
Last night we caught a sleeper train to Goa, and me Jake and Si had to sleep on bunks one on top of the other. Plus it was really noisy and uncomfortable so not the most pleasant experience!!
Anyway, we're going to head down to Anjuna's famous flea market soon.
I will write soon
Missing you xxx

I have just read Simon's comments about your train journey - I expect you'll never complain about a British train again after that experience! It's a bit rainy here at the moment but hopefully we'l have a bit of a summer. Have you managed to do any sketches of the places you have seen already. We have put your car on the land for sale but have had no-one yet call to see it, but hopefully soon. Ben is OK and Dad is working hard.
Have a wonderful time in Goa and I look forward to reading your next blog. Lots of love, Mum xxxxx
Wow ! Goa sounds like a complete contrast.
The Taxi driver sounds like he was a real character, Its always nice to meet people like that as that can make a holiday.
Your accomodation in Goa sounds like paradise.
Glad you are having a grat time.
Lots of love D XXXXXXXXXXX

Hi..
I am a Goan and I am in love with Goa. Having lived a couple of years outside Goa I've had a lot of people bombarding me with questions about Goa. That's what prompted me to start off with a website on Goa. And also coz I love writing this website is one thing I sure am looking forward to...
I just read your review about Goa and I will be honoured if you could add a review on my site too. Registration is very simple and am sure you will have fun. So, please log in to www.reviewgoa.com and leave a review.
I'm sorry I did not get your name. Do let me know it..
Hope to hear from you soon....
