YO!!!!

Its been a while and I thought I should drop you all a quick line, let you know how things are going down in India! This place is crazy, got here last wed. got out of the airport, and you know for sure your if for it!, there were no lanes on the highway, just a whole lot of shouting and horn blowing, cab ride took almost 2 hours (landed at rush hour) and cost 400 rupees, devide that by, 75 to find out in pounds, split 3 ways, what a deal!

Saw one of the taxi drivers get out of his taxi in the middle of a traffic jam, leaving a tourist sitting looking hell of a confused, nearly wet myself, that was the funniest thing I had seen in ages!, he came back after a little while though. Eventualy got to the plac where I would be staying at in Bombay, had a great veiw of another wall, and no windows, pretty much like a holding cell... PERFECT!

Hit the streets for a wonder and, man, there are heaps of beggers, its almost impossible to avoid them. The Bombay festival started the day defore I left, thought I should swing by. But what kung foo and Jananees good luck lion dragons have to do with Bombay, well I don't rightly know! And yup I concur Dad, bombay duck is a fish! So after a bit of thought decided to head to Goa, got a ticket got to the station and saw found the bus, chucked my stuff in then they asked for more money, app. I paid for myself to travel but my bags where extra, what was this kid on? I refused then the price dropped, he dissapeared and came back later saying everything was cool, sweet! I'm going to the beach! But.... now theres a labour charge, I wanted to poke this fool in the eyes! got out of that. Driver fires up engine, we out, took about 2 hours to get out of bombay, that place is huge.

I thought we were all going to die, but I was the only one who knew cos everyone else was hitting big sleep while the driver was aiming at every piece of on coming traffic, no lies, you wouldn't be able to get a tennis ball in the gap between our buss and any other oncoming bus or truck for that matter, going both up and down these hills.

put some photos together hope you like, remembered last night that I don't have a usb lead for the camera and train of thought reminded me to charge my phone, but the don't have an adaptor, so cut the plug off wrapped the coppers over to matches, whilest convincing the landlord that its all good, and I know about this kind of thing, all set up, through the switch.... bang!, no light. told him theres an internal fault somewhere in his place, he should realy get it checked out, the rum is cheap and good!

Keep well everyone, am going to jump in the water, I'm in Northern Goa, an area called Arambol place is cool but way too many hippies!
