Well, finally in Goa, staying with my friend Anupama for a while. She has an apartment above a German Bakery almost on the beach at Arambol, with a huge partly covered deck that we sleep out on and can look at the stars, the coconut palms and hear the ... Read more >

Well, the train trip wasn't too bad really, at least it arrived, and left reasonably on time. Had a bit of a mild panic when I couldn't find my carriage, the trains are very long, and there is usually a paper on the outside with the carriage name and ... Read more >
