I forgot to mension…
Whilst spending my last couple of hours in India, I thought I would put my time to good use so, at Mumbai Airport, I went about trying to seek out a suitable husband for my younger sister, as older sibling, I thought it my duty…
As you can see from the photo, there was quite a lot of interest, but I managed to whittle it down to the final lucky handful… what do you think Pritz…?

The driving force behind me adding another blog entry and the most exciting thing to have happened to me in Palolem.... This morning whilst rummaging through my backpack, trying to find a t-shirt I felt a little tickle against my leg, just around the rim of my short, shorts... I gave to obligatory brush, (as I am sooo used to doing now, seeing as how much the mozzies love me), to find that I had brushed a cockroach from my leg onto the floor.... eeeewwwwww.... Nice... Not!
It scurried under the bed, where I left it?! :o/
Just thought I'd share that with you.
Anyway to give you a quick update, we were going to head further south to a place called Gokarna but decided that the further we go the longer our journey back to Mombay is going to be, so we we're gonna stay in Palolem for another couple of nights and then head north to Colva, spend maybe 3 nights there and then start our journey to Taiwan, via Bombay, Bang Kok and Hong Kong!!!
Its going to be busy in
Take it easy

Went for a walk yesterday, thought that it was about time that we actually did something, so we walked to the next beach... only took about 40mins....
The beach was peaceful and beautiful, but there wasn't really much to see or do there. We had a drink and headed back... in the blistering heat of the midday sun... not good. I felt the first tingles of sun burn on my neck!!!
After returning I thought I would treat myself to an Indian Head Massage... seeing as I was in

Its our final day in Bombay and I have to admit, the City and its quirky ways has grown on me. The people although seeming to forever be in a hurry, are polite and friendly. Every inch of the City is covered with people trying to sell something… its crazy… I don’t know how anyone can survive.
Apart from someone trying to stick their finger in Matt’s ear, and me kicking some dirty street water at him, the stay so far has been relatively painless.
We visited ‘Chowpatty Beach’ and … (yes that’s right… beach… Bombay has a beach?!) ‘The Hills’ yesterday. Bombay’s version of Hollywood. Its supposed to be where all the Bollywood stars live and I can understand why, it’s a different world. No beggars, police presence and beautiful buildings.
Today we went to Elephant Island, its one of the World heritage Sites. The caves were lined with statues carved into the stones of some of the Hindu gods. It was beautiful, but hot.
We head out to Goa tonight, on a 10hr train ride. We have a sleeper carriage, but I fear that this is gonna be as comfy as I think, and will end up being one trip that I ill not be forgetting in a hurry, especially after seeing a train yesterday with people hanging off it.
Until Goa…
Over and Out Kidz
xxHey Guys...
How you doing... this is the first chance I have had to get to an internet café, so apologies for the delayed update.... it took ages to find too...
Bombay is manic.... Its hot, crowded, colourful and no one seems to have any purpose to their day. We are staying here for 3 nights then off to Goa, where things should be a lot easier.
Speaking Hindi has really helped.... I don't think we would have been able to get our Goa tickets or even food and drink in some places without it....!!!
Me... without food... can you imagine.
Anyway... will try and stay in touch as much as possible. Make sure you log on to MSN at any opportunity so if I'm on we can chat.
From Bombay...
