Home from home

We came to India with Qatar Airways, changing planes with just enough time for a drink.  That in itself was a challenge as most of the cafes are alcohol free.
 We saw this amazing pyramid of waving cats
about 3000 all waving at the same time.
Our flight from Doha was three hours and we were met by Jerry our landlord and his son.  By this time it was 3 am, 9.30 UK time.  The warmth of Jerry's welcome matched the warm Goan night air.
Several months ago I thought I would never feel this again.  We truly love this place, meeting old friends and hearing their stories of the past year and renewing familiar old bonds

The view from our apartment, when we got up at 7am... a little early with only 3 hour sleep.  The kingfishers, egrets and goats are still around.

This is Bluebell our brand new scooter, and this year were completely legal with international driving licence and two very fetching helmets that make your head sweat like you wouldnt believe, and no you wont be seeing a picture of me !!  


We had a lot of stuff to sort out, ATM machines, filling up Bluebell which cost about £4, shopping for supplies etc, before we got to our favourite beach, but on the way we had to go around a card school which was in the middle of the road.  They were still there in the evening when we went out for dinner!
