goa

in goa, using dialup again. space bardoesn't work properly... most annoying.

got off the train about 50km away, went to the info deskto ask how to get here and they told me to get back on the same train and carry on another couple of stations. the man in Kochi didn't tell me that, but he was using a timetable that was a year or so out of date (surely one cannot expect staff at the station to actually use the latest timetable?)

Ihave a hotel which has hot water supplied to the shower which is a first for me in india. To celebrate, I purchased some soap. Now I just need some deodorant.

Sat watching the waves and the fog for a few hours this morning - the rickshaw driver dumped me by the beach when I was unable to specify which guesthouse I wanted to go to. Lots of adverts for beer and wine- I hope I can find a nice bar -I have not been to a decent one since Allez Boo in Sai Gon.

PLan is to rest in Goa for about 4 or 5 nights then head to Mumbai.
