Hey guys,
Just said id email this as well as put it on my blog.
Im in a tiny place called Agonda in Goa. Its tiny and beautiful. Palm trees, green hills each side of the beach. Im in a beach hut which is fallin apart really but its cut and im right on the beach. I fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the sea and i can kie in bed looking out at it......sorry i know this is kinda rubbing it it but God its good!!!! :D
Myself and Dan headed down here on a sleeper bus two nights ago from hampi. (seriously everyone should experience Hampi once in their lives) 10 hours. At first i was up for the trip. Sitting on my double bed, looking out the bus window, being bounced out of it every now and then (i was at the very back!). When i lay down , and discovered id have to hack my legs off to my knees to fit in the bed lying down, i could see the stars! But as the night went on i discovered i wouldnt be sleeping!! The beds mattress (like all here) was as thin as a sheet so every time we went over a pothole or one of the millions of speed bumps along any Indian road my spine got smashed. At one stage i was lying on my right side and what ever the bus driver went over i flew up out of my bed and came smashing down on my ribs! I was winded for a few minutes! After a while i just accepted the lack of sleep and watched the stars while trying to relax over every speed bump. I do think the bus driver was on LSD tho cause after a few hours i know he sped up and instead of kind of slowing down to give you warning a speed bump was coming he just roared over it!!!! I know we went around a few corners on two wheel too!! In fairness im giving out but looking back on it it was some experience!! Im def a train girl tho and since it turns out trains are cheaper then some buses i think ill be going the posh way from now on. ;p
Ive a feeling my emails are gona get shorter and shorter as the days go by due to the fact ive decided to stay in a few places for long periods of time. Im getting lazy (and annoyed!) with all the travelling and planing and my budget keeps getting a bit ...m...stretched, so im gona follow the sun and karnatak music down south and see where i end up. Probably Thailand if things stay going the way they are!
