Woke up early today and got my free breakfast at the hotel. This time I had toast with jam, an egg, samosa and a banana, it was really tasty! I then had booked in for some beauty treatments on Palolem high street as I felt like I had let myself go in India. So I walked to the beauty place and had a Brazilian, eyebrow thread and a pedicure! It was amazing, felt so much better. Although she did my eyebrows super thin and my waxing was an experience, she went over ...
