Sunday 3rd February
Sangita and Tania put forward the idea of doing more
kayaking and it sounded like a fine plan to me, the perfect way to get away

Friday 1st February I had booked on to a full day trip around some of the islands near Krabi, with the main aim of doing some kayaking. A mini-bus picked me up from my hotal at 08.00, and took a group of us to Ao Nang beach, where we took a boat ... Read more >

Thursday 31st January
I decided that my plan for the day would be to pay a

Tuesday 8th January I woke feeling better than the day before but still felt the need for more R&R: rest and reading. I spent the morning emailing and that took me up to lunchtime. I finished the book I had been reading, a book called 'Tell Me ... Read more >

Monday 7th January The night had been a long, uncomfortable one, and I spent most of it alternating between shivering and sweating, only falling off to sleep after what seemed like a few hours. I had decided the night before that I probably wasn't ... Read more >

Friday 28th December It was my last full day in Goa before I got back on the road the following day for the final leg of my Indian adventure. Although I will no doubt be spending a lot more time on beaches over the course of my world tour, I hoped ... Read more >

Thursday 27th December After breakfast, I decided to head into Palolem again and take another look around the shops. I walked in and back to get some exercise, having done little walking over the last week or so. There wasn't much of interest but ... Read more >

Wednesday 26th December I knew it was almost time to hit the road again, so I spent the early part of the day trying to book an onward train ticket to Kerala, where I was planning to spend the last leg of my time in India. This was to prove a complete ... Read more >

Tuesday 25th December I woke up to the sunniest, warmest, most beachy Christmas morning I had ever seen. Although it was really just another lazy day in Goa, it was weird to think that it was Christmas and that everyone back home would be exchanging ... Read more >

Sunday 24th December After breakfast, I set off once again for Palolem to get a present for one of the girls in the group, after we decided it would be a laugh to do Secret Santa. There wasn't a huge choice, even if we weren't buying within a budget, ... Read more >

Monday 23rd December I was awoken by the sound of Pete knocking on the door of my hut, a surprise in itself given that Pete hadn't made it up before lunchtime (a generous estimation, I might add) the last two days due to a severe bout of jetlag.... Read more >

Sunday 22nd December The days seem to get lazier and lazier in Goa, and the heat of the day always makes me feel tired, even if I haven't been doing very much (or because of it). Even after a day spent swimming, lying on the beach and eating leaves ... Read more >

Thursday 20th December I got up earlier than I had done during the rest of my stay in Agonda; 9am is a quite early for a beach bum, or at least the kind of beach bum I have become. I wanted to get to Patnem as soon as possible as I hate to hang around ... Read more >
