This is where I live:) Love photography and nature, animals, people:) A little of the way I see it))

Palmistry On Baga Beach Road Guru Shruti Prakash has a billboard on the roadside advertising ‘ Natural Healing, Soul Realization & Mysteries Experience Centre’ with the sub heading ‘Here You Have Session Of Reading Of Lines Of Your Palm’. Next to it was a big picture of a hand. De…

The next morning the wake up call was really early. We had our flight to Goa (Panjim) very early...  Breakfast at the hotel was really nasty.. and let me teel you that the hotel wasn't worth the high price... Our taxi driver was waiting  outside to take us to the Domestic terminal in De…

Visited Goa & Mysore while working in Bangalore for two weeks.

So we arrived here in Goa, the supposed stomping ( or should that be smoking ) ground of the hippies in India and what did we find....not one, not even a small one, apparently they have fled the area in search of quieter areas in which to worry about the planet, hug trees and smoke weed !!! Th…

Got to Palolem on Sun 13th May. I caught a taxi with a french guy I met on the train, arrived at beach in Palolem and got a lovely beach hut, for, you guessed it 150 rupees. My days in Palolem were basically spent relaxing, sunbathing, swimming, walking, expolring and hiring mopeds out to see the…

Another sunny day finds us in Panaji, the capital of the State of Goa, in the Province of Tiswad. Ditching our Tata Indica people's car and our most able chauffeur Govindraj, we took the morning bus ride from Calangute and passed through Candolim and Betim in southern Bardez before stopping in Pana…

2 week break to Goa to escape a dreary London in February turned into a 2 month adventure!

We went to the night bizarre Sat night.  You can buy anything.  All kinds of crafts and clothing etc.  Hageling is necessary or you will overpay.  At one of the markets I went to, I liked a statue that they said was 1850rupies.  I said "we don't want the tourist price"...…

hello from India!we made it here just about ok, had a day in mumbai and then it was 16 hours stuffed in a sleeper bus with me, carl, all our bags and the malaysian blow pipe! the charity is wonderful, really well run with lovely people and the children are adorable. most of them are under 10, the y…

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…

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

After two months away from home, we needed a holiday! What better way than to spend two weeks in Goa, the first with Zoe's mum and sister, who were over on their own two week holiday? First, though, we had to earn it, by means of a rude introduction to India in Mumbai. We flew overnight from Hong …

Goa is just what the doctor ordered!!! I have been traveling through India for almost two months and I NEED TO CHILL OUT.  I just need to be away from a city - away from the dirty hustle.  Trains, buses, hotels, rickshaws and taxis, PLEASE go away.  I need some peace and some al…

Next stop Goa. A complete contrast to Varanasi which is crowded, noisy but also a sacred place for Hindus and Buddhists, Goa is green, tropical, Christian, relaxing and for a change, it does not feel like you are surrounded by a billion people! The change was welcome for us and we spent 4 days at a…
