Goan Fish Curry

We're now in Goa and it's finally sunny!! We've met a few nice people on the overnight bus from Mumbai (which is a story in itself!) and are hooking up with them today to have an idyllic stay on a beach for a night - Anjuna. Goa is not quite what we expected but there you go. We've went to 3 towns yesterday. The first (Panaji) was frankly a horrid shithole (and where we made the mistake of getting a room with our first guest house Nazi: checkout was 8am, ouch); Baga, the second was like Costa del Sol with 5 rows of fat, white, package tourists on the beach; and the 3rd (Anjuna) was a very nice quiet beach with hippy traveller types getting stoned and being cosmic (man). Suffice it to say we're heading out of the first place today to stay at the third!!! Lots of stalls selling chillums and bongs, with hammocks outside the rooms and lots of dreads and tie-die.

Made the mistake of having a Goan fish curry yesterday (which was delicious) and spent quite a lot of time on the toilet this morning...no more fish for me (although Kieran had prawns and he's fine - bastard).

We're really tired from too much travelling and bad night's sleep so really looking forward to chilling on the beach today and doing bugger all. Then off to Hampi tomorrow night on another overnight "luxury" coach.
