Day 37 - Anjuna

So much for relaxing - we are getting bored already. After so much travelling around, we are getting itchy feet! Yesterday we went to the slightly larger beach of Baga. It was a nice beach - wide and sandy, but full of Indian tourists. It was totally bizarre - hundreds of them just standing in lines watching the sea! A couple of the more daring ones were going in for a dip (fully clothed of course). Nice beach - although there were too many Indian blokes gawking to get completely relaxed!

So... we will do lots of fun stuff tommorrow (pre-birthday), then we will up sticks and move north on Sunday to Arambol Beach. Arambol is the most northerly beach, and apparently full of ageing hippies and very lovely. The beach up there is safe for swimming (there is a fierce undertow here in Anjuna) and there are hot water springs and lots of small bays.

Then, after a few days in Arambol, we plan to go waay down south to the most perfect beach in the whole of India - Palolem. (right)

  3. The sea here is a bit murky - aformentioned undertow, but in Arambol it is clear, lots of starfish apparently - might go diving!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY - Your gran is obviously feeling frustrated that she can't send you a card so she's asked that I send love and best wishes from her and your grandfather. And I'd no sooner put the phone down than your Aunt Elaine rang with the same request. So all the best from all the folk in the Hebburn and Jarrow branches of your family.
