I seen an elephant today.........it was hugh...

my sun burn hell..........

Howdy all

I've just read my last post and if any of you were wondering yes, I was still drunk when I wrote it, what a load of incoherant babble.... I was told last night that not only were we dancing to summer dance we were dancing to the birdie song, not only were we dancing but we were also singing the tune too.....jeepers creepers. Damn the free wine!

So last week, not much went on really, we went to mainland china one day for something to eat, I got the shrimp and crab cakes for starters, they were really good, I can't remember what I had for my main course, I'll not think about it and then I'll probably remember.

Brangelina are here, they've been in a tuk tuk twice and everything, ooooooooooo. I hope they don't close the buffet because of them.

Ben, Georg, Carl and Rob flew to Goa on Friday and we joined them on Saturday. Our Hotel left a little to be desired though the pool was nice.
On Saturday night we went to a restaurant called the treehouse for tea. As it was Ben's birthday too we asked the manager if he could get us a cake, they obliged no problems. The meal was really nice, I got paneer pakora for my starter, it was delicious and for my main course I got mixed fried rice which was also nice.
The bill for 2 courses for 8 of us, 2 bottles of sparkling wine, other drinks and the cake was only 4500 rs, it's well cheap in Goa kids, get yourselves there.

After the meal and the football we went to a really bad karokee bar, the singers were totally crap, it was painful to listen to....

On Sunday Ben and that flew home, we chilled by the pool in the morning and went to the beach in the afternoon. The beach was nice, we paid 100 rs to have 2 sunbeds and waiter service for drinks at a place called Brittos.
While the beach was nice the hawkers were not. I was losing my temper with them they really wouldn't leave us alone. I made the mistake of buying something and then they were swarming. The 'bouncers' from the bar had to get rid of them for us this was a momentary relief as soon they were back.
I was saying no, go away and stuff. Julie was getting really angry too, I turned to her and said Julie tell them and she said f*** off, actually this seemed to do the trick.
Stevie got an ice cream and it dripped all over him, Caroline got a head massage which she said was really nice.

When we left the beach we started walking back towards calengute and Stevie came across a liquour store, there was baileys for 1800rs, it's 2500+ in Pune so he got him and Carl a bottle each. We walked a bit further and then ot a taxi back, stopped at a bag shop, there was none that I liked, I've a specific bag in mind and won't buy anything else, much to their dismay.

We also stopped at a tibetian silver shop, well 2 actually. I got a toe ring a silver bangle a matching necklance and anklet and a green jade bangle. I've wanted one for ages and now I've got one for life....I can't get it off without really hurting myself! I got one stuck half way on in the shop then managed to winkle another on, you know my shovel hands....anyways its stuck, I can get it off but I still have internal bruising or something from the original attempt so t's too painful to try just yet.

I called my mum to check up on a place to eat on Sunday night what with her being the Goa tourist board.... Anyway a place called Bernards was recommended, she said we could even get a roast pork dinner with apple sauce. I said that out loud stevie started beaming so that's where we went. After 10 weeks or however long it's been the thought of a roast dinner was too much to pass up. It was delicious by the way, me caroline and stevie got 1 and Jules got some fresh landed Salmon.
Needless to say we went back there the next day for a full english with, wait for it, PORK SAUSAGES, not chicken PORK, food of the gods i tells thee.

My back is absolutely killing me and my bra is proper chafing so I'm leaving it to the last minute before I put it on, I was in agony last night. Julie said I should put some yogurt on it, we had some in the fridge, it was applied liberally (it really hurt soo as it was so cold) and on touching my skin it instantly turned into cottage cheese, minging. Today it's still proper burning, we don't understand why when I was wearing factor 30 sunscreen from boots...

When we landed yesterday we broke all records for getting back from Mumbai, it only took 3 hours usually it's more like 4.5 to 5 hours, the traffic is terrible. We decided to get dropped off at the Ship for some tea and drinks, I got the steak, as usual, well it's really nice though I forgot to ask for no mushrooms or sauce so I had to scrape them off but no harm no foul.

Back to work today, on the night shift, boooo!

laters..
