Theo and Grace Adventures..

We are feeling much better about life in India this week. One night at Vailannkani Guest House turned into six nights. The cleanliness and comfort was just what we needed. This week has consisted mainly of walking the markets, eating, playing cards on the beach, eating some more and exercising. Even though it is the monsoon season here it really doesn't rain that often. A dark, gloomy cloud will once or twice bucket down for five minutes and then it will be over. We have decided to venture to North India for a week and have booked flights for tomorrow to Jaipur in Rajasthan, from there we will go to Udaipur and on the 2nd of September we fly to Kerala. We hope all is well with everyone back home. Love and miss you all. xxx G & T Baga Beach Our lady of Piety Chapel Local fruit.veg shop - 90p/$1.70 for cabbage, capsicum, 7 bananas and 5 tomatoes Walking from Calangute Beach to Baga Beach Baga Beach Local restaurants on the beac...

Hello everyone, India has brought whirlwind of emotions! It's taken us a a while to get used to the third world living once again. Hand washing, smelly toilets and constant tooting cars/bikes. As it is the Monsoon season here, it's very quiet in regards to Western tourists. There are alot of Indian tourists who like to visit at this time of the year so we are pretty much the only white people here. After our first couple of days at Majorda beach, we headed for Panjim, the capital of Goa. We learned quickly that this was a mistake. Chaotic, dirty, loud and smelly. It did have some interesting aspects to its city though. There is a large Portugese influence as Portugal ruled Goa until it was liberated from the Portugese in 1961. We found it incredibly difficult to find any access to internet. Very little places/restaurants in India provide wifi and our accommodation also didn't have it. We found it hard then to plan the next journey and didn't particularly like b...

Hello! Just a quick one to let you know we have safely arrived in Goa, India. It was a long journey! After arriving in London at 3am on Friday, we stayed over at Heathrow Airport on Saturday night aswell because we had to check into our flight at 4am. We then flew to Amsterdam for a stopover before an eight hour flight to Mumbai arriving at local time 11.30pm (-4.30 hours London). We then had to wait for our flight to Goa which was at 2am and we arrived at 3am. Our guest house wasn't open for check in until 12 so we slept at Goa airport.(I say slept, but hardly!) So we are currently pretty exhausted.. We've checked out the beach just minutes from us and just had lunch. Now for a nap.. Will update you all soon. xxx
