Well well well I love it when a plan comes together. Yesterday we went for breakfast and decided we are gonna leave Goa earlier than expected. we were gonna stay here 2 weeks but feel like its time to move on. Althoughit has been fab here we both feel like it is time to start seeing the real India. This place is full of travellers (it seems) pretending to be spiritual I dunno maybe I'm just being a cynic but they seem a bit fake.
Anyway, we booked bus tickets to Pune for wed 24th and get there thurs morning. We are gonna travel round the state of Maharashtra were there are amazing looking buddhist caves, hill stations and a meteorite crater to mention but a few. We have been doing a bit of star gazing of late so the meteorite part appeals to the anorak in me. Then off to see the Dalai Lama in Bombay for the 31st can't wait, can't wait can't wait.
Last night was fun we went to a bar on the beach that had this strange heavy rock band followed by a dj playing punk cds. We got chatting to a tibetan guy who used to be a monk for years but found that he didn't want that life anymore so now is just a practicing buddhist. He was very cool and even breakdances which he quite happily showed us on command bless im. It was so lovely to chat with a guy who just wants to chat.a lot of them here think if you look at them it means you want to get jiggy as me and Soph have learned the hard way.
anyway enough waffle for now
