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)
laying on the beach is really boring for any length of time - whats to sea like, apart from the undertow bit - any good for snorkelling? Its raining here too Liz well thats England for you! Ma x
ReplyDeleteWill work on that - don't have a digital camera so will have to take some with one of the girl's cameras, then upload. WIll make an effort now you've reminded me :-)
ReplyDeleteThe sea here is a bit murky - aformentioned undertow, but in Arambol it is clear, lots of starfish apparently - might go diving!
ReplyDeleteMy God, fancy getting bored in paradise - just picture the grey, windy, damp Hartwell and that will make you feel better!

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.
