Baga - Goa

Hello All,

We are in Goa,  its so much better than Mumbai. Mumbai is an awful place its basically a massive slum you have not seen anything like it; you have such a contrast. The rich are rich and the poor are below under class. I seen business men driving top of the range cars and kids on the streets with no clothes on standing in filth living in shelters on the side of the street. It is an experience that make you appreciate the good things in life. The poorest people in Kirkby are living in paradise compared to these people. 

The quote describes why I can on this journey;

"To dare is to lose ones footing momentarily, to not dare is to lose ones self"

Goa is great; its cheap, layed back has hot great food and has great tropical beaches, however its the rainy season. Its hot, humid and rains all day on and off. So the best thing to do is chill in the bar. We are staying in the Travelers Inn for 550 a night which is about 6 pound. We are right in the mixer and have a great little bar next to us called the Lime Bar, we got smashed last night and Laura is rough as now haha.

We are staying here till Sunday then heading south to old Goa, a place called Panjim then further south then east to Hampi.

Yesterday I was walking across the beach, the waves pounding the beach like a storm and I noticed a crowd of Indians. As I approached them I found out why they were congregating there, a poisonous  Cobra Sea Snake trying to get into the water against the surf, it was amazing to see.

Speak soon
