So Carolyn left today at around 1pm. It was sad to see her leave and I'm sure she was sad to leave too. It kinda sucks to wake up in the morning after your last night out on the beach we people you met, take your last swim, and enjoying the stressfree life and have to leave it behind to go back to work... Phew.. that was a long sentence. WEll I hope she enjoyed her trip as much as I'm enjoying mine. I'm now on my own from now on and really looking forward to this new adventure ahead of [View Full Entry]

Palolem, Beer, Friends
The day of never ending Kings beer. Bart, Lachlan, Carolyn.
Still on Palolem beach and quite happy about it. Carolyn is leaving in 2 days and I'll still be sticking arounf here for another week or so after her. Liek my last update said, there's not much going on here to keep you updated on. Put here's what we've done so far... 1. Slept in 2. hit the beach for some tanning 3. swam 4. eaten (lots!) 5. drank lots of beer (especially yesterday... 9 am - 7pm... ouch!) That's pretty much it. We met a nice Australian guy and a French girl and decided to have some drinks with them [View Full Entry]

Finally left Mumbai maybe 3-4 days ago (remember? I have no concept of time..). Took another overnight bus.. which I still have one more to take to get back to Mumbai... Argh! Anyway, this one was just nasty. My bed smelled of urine, someone had previously had a little accident on it before I guess. It was so strong that I just couldn't handle it anymore and found another empty bunk below us, so I slept there... with the cockroaches crawling over me all night... I can deal with that, but not the smell and the fact of lying in it.. [View Full Entry]

So here we are in Mmbai after hours and hors of bus travels we're heading more South, and the beaches are to come soon! Mmbai is a great city, so many people we met along the way told s bad stories about it and to me they were all wrong. This city is great! So mch to do, friendly people, great food and nice architecture. I have to say thogh that accomodation is quite higher in price but that's what big cities are for right? We've been here 2 nights now and have walked the city streets for hours. It's great. [View Full Entry]

We got here arond 9-10am, and I'm glad to say I finally was able to sleep a bit on the bus.. for the those you know me well, I can't sleep on any type of transportation and most of ours was done overnight, so you can imagine how tired I have been in teh past few weeks.

Well yet another destination.. We're now in Udaipur, India. Another city around a lake and ghats. I think I like this one better then Pushkar as there are less foreigners and annoying vendors. WE left yesterday mornign from Pushkar to here which took about 8-9 hrs by bus. Another hot and gross bus that they call tourist buses, but why are we always only like 4 tourists on the bus and 50 locals? Argh, it's just annoying, the stares, the blowing kisses, the oooh "say hello" from mother's trying to get their kids to say hi in English to the foreigner [View Full Entry]

Ok, yet another destination... it never ends! I'm just tired right now, you'll now why later.. So we left Delhi maybe 3 days ago (the day after my last e-mail, whever that was). Oh yeah did I mention I have no knowledge of days/dates or time anymore? We went to Jaipur which is a pretty big city too. Our bus ride was quite interesting.. We were supposed to be picked up at the guesthouse at 8pm by a taxi, which never happened. We ended up having to walk there with our backpacks. It wasn't really far but when you were expecting [View Full Entry]

Well here we are, finally, India. Umm, It's not AS bad as I thought it to be. I actually sorta enjoy it alreay, but I can't say for sure as I've only been here a day really, and only in Delhi. We arrived late last night as our flight was delayed for landing because of air traffic.. an hour flying around in circles.. at least we got to see the sunset like what... 5 times. So we arrive at the airport.. finally, adn try to take out money adn it doesnt' work.. thank goodness I got a little bit of rupees [View Full Entry]

Ok everyone... this is it, the ultimate test.. we're heading out for India tomorrow morning.. YIKES! We have a stop over in Sri Lanka for 4 hrs or so, see what we can get out of it for those few hours.. LOL then land in Delhi in the afternoon, where our mission will be to find a taxi that will not try and scam us... LOL kidding (well who knows) we'll be fine. At least we managed to find a room on line for the first nights to ease our minds. I can't WAIT!!! So today we finally were able to [View Full Entry]

Well we've just arrived in KL this morning. We ended up being in 3 different countries in less than 24hrs.. not bad. So we haven't done much in KL yet since we're on the hunt for flights to India, which is starting to get a little frustrating because agents are giving us conflicting info. Anyway hopefully by tomorrow we'll have some tickets and we can actually start enjoying KL. We'll only be staying here for 3-4 days, since Carolyn's on a schedule and would like to see more of India, which I don't blame her. I'll just come back after and [View Full Entry]
