My approach was all wrong.  I arrived here thinking India would be like Egypt/Turkey, assuming I would need to be aggressive so I would not get screwed over.  I arrived in Mumbai and spotted a fella with a Texas shirt on, so I approached him about sharing a cab to Colaba (the usual travel…

Hi Everyone,Well we have now been in goa for some days now. What a pretty area. Everyone is very friendly. There is a neighbour called Rosie who checks on us regularly, the internet cafe wave at us as we go out in the morning. It is so nice. But there is the downside too. People don't stop staring …

Mumbai, Goa (Anjuna, Baga, Calangute, Vagator), New Delhi, Agra

Would we get a train- we hadn't booked so there was a chance we wouldn't get one! As we drove out of Goa I felt a bit nostalgic for the …

Been in India, relaxed, taned well fed (You now Scots love a curry right?)can't wait to go back next year..........

The taxi ride to Baga/Calengute took about an hour, which was plenty of time to get a good look at rural Goa along side the main highway from the airport.  It quite a shock to see so many people living in little huts made from bamboo, cardboard and bits of discarded corrugated iron.  I kn…
