Been in Goa a little over three weeks now, stayed in Molly Malone's for the first two weeks but just couldn't cope with the building works both sides of molly's working until midnight and the roosters and dogs carrying on from 2am so I moved out to a quiet guest house, now I'm the normal me.

I've got a hired scooter much against my own advice but I am coping quite well with the manic driving and apply my own ethics "drink no drive, drive no drink" simple.

Had a new pair of glasses made, too correct my vision my right eye needs a special ground lens, no problem but I had to wait a week for them, cost with reactorlite £80 heaven, pity I didn't have them when I seen Chilly with only half a bikini on. (not saying what half)

Felt like pigging out tonight so at my new favourite eatery (Toto's) just by the after 7 I ordered 5 tiger prawns and a salad, told by all and sundry I would not eat 5 tigers, I did, took an hour and they where huge but I ate them an the salad and an ice cream.

Followed up with 6 honey bee and coke a kings. Total cost Rs1120, the tip I left was returned with Jo the owner telling me that I had spent enough and tipping was not necessary, no arguing with gentleman Jo
