Going to Goa.. maybe

Greetings!
Well it's 10am here in Mumbai and we've already had our morning fix of juice (we found this place called Leopolds, which serves the best juice...ever....)
Anyways we're looking for places to stay in Goa because we're heading down there this friday hopefully (was meant to be thursday... but we left it too late - MUPPETS!! :-)
anyways, methinks we might have found somewhere in Candolim, which is right below Calangute (which was our original plan) hopefully it'll work out (it probably wont though) :-)

Anyways I should probably update on what we've actually been doing...
Well through the day we've been mostly shopping (I keep loading myself up with all this jewellery - seriously it takes me like 10 minutes to take it all off!!)
and I've been buying shawls and generally things to make me more Indian looking, which is fun!! ;-)
On friday night, Camilla, Rasika and I decided to go out and check out the night life in Mumbai!
We went to this really posh party/club thing (which we ended up getting in for free, because one of Rasika's friends hooked us up) it was so posh, and we felt really out of place!!
We met 3 other Brits there though. It was their last night in India and they had just came up from Goa. They were really cool actually.
After the posh party thing finished, we decided to invite ourselves to the place that the 3 other backpackers were headed (the Marriot hotel to this all-night club).
So we got 2 tuk-tuks, and piled 3 of us in each. There was me, camilla and Luke (one of the guys) in one, and Rasika, Joe and Neil in the other. We thought it would be an excellent idea to get the two tuk-tuks to race all the way though!! that was so funny because Luke was all like "Follow that Tuk-tuk!!"
Then we were laughing manically at anyone we passed!!
Even the Tuk-Tuk guy was finding it hilarious... although we still managed to lose in the end :-(

Then we got to the Marriot hotel and seriously it has to be the poshest place I've seen here!! So we immediately felt out of place again!! :-)
Then we went into the Disco thing which was quite cool actually. The problem was, though, that once you pay your 1200rs per couple, they give you loads of drinks coupons, so you feel compelled to drink lots (well I did anyways) and we'd already been drinking previously... plus mixing all those different alcohols wasnt a great idea...
So after a while I started feeling really sick, and Neil took me off to try and find a toilet, which of course was like 1000000 miles away. We also head out in the worng direction, which didnt help!!
So basically I didnt exactly make it to the toilet (we were so close) and ended up puking in the corridor (of the Marriot...) infront of Neil *embarrased* and some random hotel staff *more embarrased*
Then when we FINALLY got to the toilets... I didnt need to be sick anymore... so we just left again. Me with the biggest BEAMER ever!!
It was SUCH a good night though!!

We tried going out again on the Saturday night, with some of Rasika's other friends. We drove like 3 hours out of mumbai to this "beach party" which turned out to be a random collection of muppets (who were really wasted) dancing really suggestively to early 90s dance music.... it was really bizzare.
Needless to say we left pretty soon after getting there :-)
Then by the time we got back into Mumbai it was like 4am so we just completely crashed out!

Erm.... We havent really done anything thats partucalry interesting since then...
hmmm....
I shall write back when something happens :-P


love k
