But let me get on with Goa my first http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Goa/Anjuna-Beach/blog-447699.html Our stay at Goa was rather overshadowed by lots and lots of monsoonal rain. At one time we couldn't leave the place where we were staying with friends of Pete to go out and get food. We did brave it a couple of times and got wet right through to every last bit of clothing. Not that bad really as it still wasn't cold.I would like to go back to Goa out of the monsoon season as I believe the place http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Goa/Anjuna-Beach/blog-447668.html Hi everyone.Thomas here VV is busy updating her CV for job stuff I know I know she never stops does she so I have been elected as chief blog doara.Ok so for the last 6 days we have been in north Goa in a place called Anjuna.

For the first week in India we're just trying to relax and take it easy... trying to prepare ourselves for the Delhi belly but we haven't gotten it yet... knock on woodToday we did a tour of Goa.

It looked grand so we stayed. It was right in the middle both in the mddle of nowhere and everywhere. Anjuna is split in to the beach and the main road in town. We were in the middle so we had to walk if we wanted to go anywhere but at lea http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Goa/Anjuna-Beach/blog-392085.html I finally have a real entry and a link to my pictures from Istanbul up.

Then I went to the offic http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Goa/Anjuna-Beach/blog-379363.html Our flight from Bangkok went smoothly yay and Lucy and I arrived in India at 10pm on Sunday the 1st of March. We only made it out of the airport at 1130 though after a huge passport control line and a massive wait for luggage. We got into town at 1230 pm. Not a great time to arrive in India really. We got a very sweet Korean girl dumped on us at the airport by a Korean business man. He asked http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Goa/Anjuna-Beach/blog-379032.html So been here a couple of days now and getting the hang of things I think Booked into a different guest house yesterday which is a bit closer to things.

The room seemed nice enough if a little overpriced but it did the job little did I know that the next day I would end up wit http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Goa/Anjuna-Beach/blog-373000.html Well the journey has begun...and it wasn't the smoothest ride either.To say procrastination is an understatement of what I put myself through before getting here. From driving to Boulder at 930 the night before I left selling my car to a freshouttahighschooler to filling my prescriptions on the way to airport I was running around like a madman to say the least.
