To India and Beyond
OK!!!!
Finally got myself well enough to get out of The Alcove Hotel at Vagator in Goa, after suffering with a severe virus that ended up in a night in hospital. Am fine now but have an awful cough and bit of a runny nose. Have found some lozenges at a chemists which taste awful but seem to have soothed the savage beast. I think they might be slightly hallucinagenic as well, although it might just be because I've not eaten yet today and it's almost 1.30pm.
So, am in Vasco De Gama, Goa. Stopping here one night, then hopping on a train to Bangalore to experience something of the real India (because all the other travellers I've met keep telling me that Goa is not the real India). This will be my first experience of Indian trains so should be interesting, I'll keep you all posted.
Not sure what the plan is at the moment, I'm thinking about going to New Zealand for a bit, just to get myself well. It's quite difficult to be a single white female in India and I've had to buy myself a wedding ring to keep the men away. Very few Indian men approach you, it tends to be the middle-aged, western hippies that I've had loads of hassle with. One tried to sell me opium which he said was the best remedy for a bad stomach.
Got to go in search of some lunch now, I'm getting light headed.
Love to you all. Hope you're well, keep those messages rolling in.
