Sucked into Goa
For those who thought they wouldn’t bother checking previous posts again, I added some pictures to the previous post. It pays to occasionally check back as I sometimes add more pictures later on (usualluy because I can’t be bothered uploading pictures every time I am on-line).
Before even arriving in India I had no intention of going to Goa – I knew it is a tourist spot and has all the attractions that I can easily find at home. I arrived thinking – just 2 days. It is now 1 week since I arrived and finally I have set my day for leaving – tomorrow. It’s just so easy to stay. I suppose if it were in full swing of high season I would find it easier to leave, but at the moment everything is winding up for the monsoon that is due any day now. There are a few tourists here and there, stragglers, the long-term stayers that have been here for a few months and intend to stay a few months more. The feeling is very relaxed and even vendors don’t hassle too much. I had a nice peaceful wander around the headland where the path is lined with folded stalls and just imagined what it would be like to walk there during the peak season – yeesh!
I’ve met some nice people here, mainly other solo travellers. But I know I have to get moving again otherwise I will hide here the rest of my time in India.

Goa suena como un lindo lugar para estar fuera de temporada…i’ve heard about it, even here, on the other side of the planet!nrAca el frio esta terrible. wind gusts of 80 km per hr and minus 5 degrees. Antartica migth be melting, but certainly does not feel like that now!
Nora me llamo hoy para avisarme que llego tu paquete desde India. Asi que, para mi sorpresa, YA LLEGO! me imagine que tardaria muchisimo, como cuando viene desde OZ. Preferis que te escriba en español, no??
Hope all is going well. Just sending a practice message from work.
