30/03/2011 Had a quick nap following waking up on the beach, went back to the sea to swill all of the sand off of me and then left. Paid 100 rupees for credit that didn't even work, Chris paid another 100 as we didn't checkout in time (much to my annoyance as I just walk out everytime they ask for a stupid amount, normally half a night's pay) and shared a taxi with the Danish girls Anna and Nanna and French girl Phillipine. Ended up being 1500 instead of 500 th...

29/3/2011 Didn't get up 'til 1.15 so stuck another day in Anjuna, which turned out to be a blessing! Ate at a lovely restaurant/bar overlooking the sea and chatted to some more Danish girls, lads and some London chaps whom we played football with. Enjoyed the water despite the overcast conditions, messing around with some Iranian blokes chucking tennis balls and that. In the evening watched some more cricket and met the Belgie at the sunset view bar as he had ...

28/03/2011 Decided to go on a few kilometres walk to see a lake around the headland. It was as beautiful as the girls as had made out, with navy blue waters leading into the hills, sandbanks and palm trees and birds hovering around, even a lifeguard or two on duty.

It was a bit of a mission to get to, walking up into the guesthouses overlooking the horizon and souvenir shops...

27/03/2011 A short tuctuc to the coast where we bumped into Sarah who I met in Mumbai and she advised us of a good place to stay. Villa Rodrigues! Got a 200-rupee double bed, shower and western toilet, even a mosquito net and fan! So I couldn't grumble for 1.50 pound each a night! And, practically on the beach. Got the sungod straight out and was playing beach cricket in no time with the local Indians! They had a load of absolutely mental rules such as no runs ...

26/03/2011 Arrived in Mumbai at like 5am and back to the Anjali Inn after I had haggled half price for me and Chris to have a nice room to sleep for the day and watch the cricket! Had to have a shower first as my feet were literally black and I hadn't showered in two days. Sexy. After a nap, we had some local grub and watched England get humiliated by Sri Lanka before heading back to the train station for the overnight train to Goa. On the train we had two Dan...
