More Chilled Out!

05/10/11

This morning I awoke to find my bed bug bites were hardly noticeable due to the healing powers of sea water. I was so chuffed! We had a relaxed start, going to a nearby cafe for fruit and muesli, before wandering around town which took a whole 10 minutes! We then walked down the beach towards what appeared to a small island that you had to wade to. Here

there were loads of rocks scattered in the water between this beacha and another rainforest covered island. We weren't brave enough to cross on to the next island because we were worried about the tide but we spend a good hour exploring the rock pools on this side, watching large numbers of crabs scuttle away as we approached and birds of prey circling over head.

After another refreshing swim we went back to the bar for a snacky lunch and lassi. This is the life!

Then we decided to go back to the room for a shower and then go for a drink before dinner. So Martin stripped off and went to turn the water on - no water, not unusual! Martin was livid, determined not to put his sandy clothes on or clean clothes. So he sat naked perched on the edge of a chair, arms folded, waiting! I had a little giggle to myself as he sulked for a little while. However half an hour later, he tried again, not daring to get his hopes up and fortunately

it came on!

This evening we went back to the bar on the beach to watch the sun set overa lassi and then had some dinner.

It's been a lovely, relaxing couple of days in Goa but I am looking forward to going to the 'ghost city' of Hampi tomorrow.
