Last few days

View from our apartment 

We've had a really great time and met some amazing people - some intrepid travellers with great tales to tell.

Fred, and brave Val who had a heart attack and pacemaker fitted at Margao hospital. Fred swam morning and evening in what has since been called Fred's pool. 
Linda & Dennis from 202 who gave us loads of books and himself read the trilogies.
Mo & Bob; Bob ended up in intensive care after a major problem with an ulcer, poor Mo had to collect 2 units of blood by taxii - sorry we'd gone off to Jaipur so couldn't help.
So no worries about the healthcare everyone was more than happy with their  doctors and let's not foget Indian doctors are the very backbone of the NHS

John who managed to find HP sauce in a restaurant we went to - everyone had some even on their curries!

Wonderful Al found meditating in a cave, what a breath of fresh air and inspiration he was.
The River Ganges - intoxicating! This is the before picture 
This is the after picture - id been blessed, accidentally got my hands wet whle lowering our lighted candles, and unknowingly drunk Ganges Chai (tea)


Today I spoke to a guy I'd referred to himself as Castro- his beard and appearance reminded me of Fidel. As its my last day in Goa and I've walked up and down the beach watching this guy, I decided to ask him what on earth he hunts for everyday on the beach. It turns out he's from USA and he collects sharks teeth! We talked for half an hour about India, where we'd been and what we'd seen - fascinating.
Our last ride on Betty to get some last minute bits and a pic of our local vlage church 


On Sunday we fly down to Chennai before flying back home on Monday
