This is the life. Katie from England, Lisa from Scotland, Julie from Ireland and Anna from Germany are now residing at Sai Prasad - a pristine, friendly hostel sitting right on Anjuna beach. We have hammocks outside our rooms (perfect for watching the sunset or relaxing away from the sun with a good book) and the restaurant serves cheap delicious food. On Wednesdays there is the Anjuna flea market, and on Wednesdays and Saturdays one of the buildings lining the main road turns into the busiest nightclub in goa, with 100 people crammed into a tiny room to boogie the wee hours away.
We are here for about 10 days, after which Julie and Anna travel back up to Mumbai, and Lisa and myself travel south, along the coast, to Kerala. We won't be doing much until then but getting sun-roasted and fat on seafood (hence the Day 34+ - I think 10 days of "got up, swam, read, sun bathed, ate a lot" will quickly get you sick with envy and/or boredom).
On the 1st it is my birthday (has to be the most exotic birthday location to date) and tomorrow we are taking a taxi to the busier beach of Baga. Other than this - no plans, but to top up on my reading. Shantaram is finished,but luckily this internet cafe has a bookshop with lots of interesting books - so that shall keep me amused. Will also be good and write lots of postcards - so expect them in a week or two!
i am even more jealous than yesterday!! and i read all that sat at work being bored in a not so sunny northampton! can't believe your there and i'm here. - Ngaire
