Food has been a bit of a struggle because my stomach has been funny. My diet so far has consisted of milk coffee (boiled milk and instant coffee), water, coke, plain rice, plain toast, Chinese noodles, briyani and I have had a couple of really nice fresh out of the water tuna dinners!

The pattern has been established with a small interruption!
The day begins around 6:30am walking the beach. I get back to the hut at about 8am and then have a milk coffee and read while I wait for the internet place to open at 9am and do my daily chores :) My first stop is to get water and this lovely lady greets me everyday! She speaks next to no English but it really is amazing how we communicate!
I then make my way to the German bakery (shop on left) and pick up a croissant or bracket... both are bread dough, the croissant is rolled dough and the bracket is braided! Then I go next door to the internet cafe (orange door) and do a little blogging. As you noticed I have not posted for a couple of days; the internet was down for 36 hours and I had a case of Delhi belly for the last couple of days as well - minor interruption!
Before I head back to my hard days work of lying on the beach I drop off my laundry at a local laundry service. The three ladies are wonderful and I just make sure to duck whenever I see a rock or ball flying at me from one of the 9 kids that live there! All the action stops when they count out my articles of clothing to determine the price and when they get to the underwear the kids just giggle away...
I hit the beach at about 10:30 and don't leave until 3ish when I go for another walk! It is a hard life but someone has to do it!

Little Italy is the restaurant at my 'resort' and lots of longterm hippies come and have a beer and pizza throughout the day. It is a great spot to hang out for the week but my time is coming to an end here and I will probably head out to the capital of Goa, Panaji in a few days.

Other than the "Delhi Belly', I'm very envious!!
Dear Tracy, Have been glued to the blog. Now, i gotta tell you, you're not really "selling it" for the Magtio's to put India on there short list (read the Kaltio) I am sure Jess is all over it. The beautiful beach shots almost had me but......honey throw in a glamour shot or two.....xoxo If there is an Oberoi near by please wonder in and take a photo for me. Kiss/hug Ryan
Hello my lovely! So glad to hear that you are alive and well(ish). The blog is great and I love the photos. We are back from Mexico and it was a perfect week. Never below 30deg, and our days we spent by the pool or eating. So lovely, and we came home to our gorgeous little niece home with her Mum and Dad. I got to cuddle her today and she is so beautiful. I have another video that I will get Steve to put on Youtube. Sarah and Johnny are really good, just getting into the swing of things. It is certainly Christmas here in the Big V. The lights are all out and tomorrow I am going to put up our Christmas tree so that the cats can dismantle it and chew on the decorations. Miss you darl, I will keep you informed as to what else is happening. Have a great time.
Ginger Vitus: There is an Intercontinental about 3km from here but I heard the paint is peeling off the walls due to the humidity so the glam shot won't be for a couple more days at least!
Sue Murray: I am so happy to hear you had a wonderful honeymoon! Please give Baby Maeve a cuddle for me - I can't wait to see the video!
