wow
I am so pleased to be able to share these amazing travels with you - you are truly living a dream and 'i am so envious.

time of your life
Wow what a life time of experience in 3 months. Went to Goa 3 year ago, cattle there were in the sea keeping cool. Imagine our cattle doing that! the markets, well you could get lost as they are huge, chillies go right to the top of the market stall and just as round. Keep safe my friend, see you soon. Woof woof from dilly and us.xx
