hey hey!

finally reunited with kimmy!! was like we hadnt reali bin apart though!!

kim was gagging for a beer and torq hadnt hada drink in four days! so we went to our upstairs bar and they said it was 'dry' so we assumed that it meant they dint serve booze.looking for bars and they seemed to be shut! so we went to an 'expensive' tourist restaurant with a bar/club upstairs called leopolds, and found out it was a dry day in the whole of india for religious reasons and nowhere in the country is allowed to serve booze!! hahaha! just kimmys luck!!! haha!

they following day we slept a lot and in the evening, we went to chowpatty beach , where thr r sposed to b great places to eat and was sposed to look beautiful at night!it did look nice cos it was dark, but thr was a funfair and stalls and stuff and no tourists. all the men sat togeva and the women separately. the fair was funny, wish i cud put a pic up! but kim sed if my cameras stil crap wen she leaves, wel swap and she can sort mine out.the big wheel was operated by three men, and thet manually turned it by climing to the top and holdng on to the top and taking it in turns to jump down while still holding on and that is how it turned!!torq and kim got gud pix of it! we walked and walked for ages even alongside the motorway to find sumwhr to eat,but all to no avail!!so we just got a cab bk and ate near our place.afterwards, we went to sbx, a sportsbar where the locals reali let themselves go! it was like being in a pub in london, with the girls screaming and singin and posing for pix and dancin sexily, and the guyswere realiu rowdy drinkin pitcher after pitchers and lotsa shots! i gota pic of them, it was soo funny as we tried to style it out and pretend we wer takin pix of each otha ! some of the time , me bein me, cudnt help myself, but just face and watch them and blatantly crack up! but they dint care, prob encouraged them, then 1 came over and tried to get us to dance or bring torq over to their table, but he was shy!eventually 2girls and 2guys came over and invited us over to thr table whr thy livend us up and bort us pitchers! i wasnt drinkin once again, i just had one redbull, but that was all i raeli needed.we played basketball and hada punch around of the punch bag and hada good old boogie. i learnt more hindi, good and bad things!!hehe! and shaq if u read this, i sang that hindi song u taught me and we all kept singuing it 2geva, they were impressed!!hehe!

next day we woke up early and took r rucksacks to the lftluggage in the train stn andwent to elephanta island.we gota boat that took nearly2hrs! then a mioni train that took 8mins.here, there are caves dedicaterd to lord shiwa&tombs of elephants and tigers, u have to take ur shoes off before enterin the tombs outa respect n itsa bit like a wishing well, whr u make a wish and puta a coin thr.thr wer5 caves in total but only the first wasnt completely weathered.

here there are lotsa cccccccuuuuuuuuuuuuttttteeeeeeeeeee families of monkeys whr i watched thm for ages and took lotsa pix.lotsa dogs alsoand sum pretty battered ones that we felt sorry for. i opened my bag to feed the dog with dried dal(lentils yum) but as i crackled the wrapper, the monkey got nearer, so i had to p[ut it away cos ur not alowed to feed them.there were also lotsa stalls, as thr are at all tourist attractions, but i dint but anything.

at5pm we got our 'luxury' coach back to goa, whr the seats recline.torq and kim got the backseat, wich i specificaly sed i dint want,cos its bumpier,but i was just one infront!first i had to shar2seats with3!!aaarrrgh!!then i got a nice lil old indian lady who tried to talk top me in hindi and i tried to talk to her in english and every now and again wed both say a phrase from each others language and laugh! she was like me as we both sat opn the seat with our legs crossed! and wen the guy in front puhed his seat too back, she hada go at him!!

watched anuv bollywood film with no subtitles!loved the dancing! they can realloi move!

wen it was time to sleep, we dint realise that a lil girl had her windo fully open and everyone froze! we all sneezed and coughed, so uncomfy and my joints hurt,i jus had my aladin pants and a vest and a sarong.i wraped the sarong in half then round my front.tooo tooo cold! so .....i unhooked my curtain and used it to cover my legs!!!how resourceful am i?!hehe!

we arived in mapusa around 8am and gota cab to anjuna and one of the guys outside rememberd me from the previous week!! we gota nice room in a catholic hotel called evershine and the owner, sebastiana is lovely, wel i ges she has to b, init?

we have jus lazed alot and i finali met karen and she took me on her bike tyo a nearby beach called osman or lil vagator whr lord shiwa is carved in the roicks.this beech is less inhabited as the only recently go the licences to serve food and drink! i finaly went for a swim with kim and karen, was reali nice and not that polluted!on the way back torq accelerated to fast with kim on the bk of his sccoter andthe bike fell and got mashed up! R1000 to repair. kim has a huge black bruise on the butt , which gets progressively darker, but she says it doesnt hurt and she jus laffs!torq has a pretty bad gash on his arm, but thr ok.

they went bk to cleanup and karen took me to bigvagator so i cud show them after, we sat at the top of the cliff on a rock and hada good old chinwag and watched the sunset! WOW!

after dinner we went to paradiso, the only club on the beach and torq was so drunk he fell asleep in a deckchair and we took his camera off his lock and out his pocket twice and took silly pix of him!so fumm!wen he awoke, he sed:see, i told u id look after u!! me n kim jus laffet! it was R300 for guys or R500 and free for girls and free drinks all nite! boring me, gota drink, too strong so drank fanta instead!the following nitein nite we returned and thy wudnt let him in with shortd s or flipflops, girls can wear wateva! so he went bk to change.cos he ony had 2 bags of crisps all day he was drunk afta 2 small vodkas! and wanted to ride his bike back cos he dint fink he was drunk! thr wasa big hoohaa cos i took the key out the ignition and made him walk and he ended up goin to a bar with sum ppl!it rteali did annoy me.today he rode over my foot and broke my flipflop!i gota nicer pair tho.thats why id rather not drink sumtimes and it gives me headaches aswell ands hangovers that i find hard to handle here.
