Turtle Beach

Nothing much has been happening in Goa. Just food and boogie boarding. Went for a six hour walk the other day heading south along the coast. All the way to Turtle Beach - about five long deserted beaches and a short boat trip across an inlet from Palolem Beach. Beautiful. On Turtle Beach we saw two Indians sitting underneath a tree drinking beer (strictly illegal, as it was a voting day, and no alcohol is permitted to reduce politically sparked fistfights). One of them offered to get us cold beer from his house.

Talked and drank well into the night on the balcony of an English geyser from Birmingham. Now very tired, and in Bombay. I feel like an old hat here, directing the taxi driver to my hotel from VT train terminal ("weetee").

Killing time before Bombay wakes up, and then it's time to blow some cash on clothes and stuff.
