After four days in Anjuna, I was itching to get back on the road again. Not just because despite taking my vitamin B1 religiously, smothering myself in 50% deet every evening and lighting enough mosquito coils to stop malaria in its tracks, I am still getting bitten. Especially my feet, the irritating red bumps clashing [...]

Sleepy Goa?

Did I speak too soon? My first day in Goa was fairly eventful by anyone’s standards. I woke up and properly explored my little cottage and surrounding gardens.

Dating from around 2nd century BC to 600 after C, these Buddhist, Hindu and Jain temples carved into the rock face are an incredible sight to behold. The surrounding countryside, verdant after the monsoon, is also breathtaking. The journeys from Aurangabad were nerve racking to say the least. Swerving round corners, potholes, goats, buffalo and [...]
