Well I wanted too ???

I don't know if I'm getting older and more bad tempered or are all Goan taxi drivers getting worse?

The bunch at the Santiago Hotel in Baga are all ,or most are just crazy and my friends and I had a few disputes with them . Finally ,one morning as we were travelling at a rediculous speed on the wrong side of the road,overtaking police cars and lines of other traffic, including an elephant, scooters coming the opposite way were pulling into the side of the road to avoid us , I cracked.

Anyway I told him to slow down and treat us with respect before we had accident, and if he didn't I would not pay him.He told us he was a good driver but I eventually made him undestand how bad he was and that if he drove the way he was in England I would be the first to lock him up and throw away the key.

At our destination I paid him and went to the beach. He followed us and apologised and begged me not to report him to the hotel as he would be suspended for two weeks.

Well at least I obtained a nice little bit of information and from then on we were treated with respect. If you have the same problem with your hotel taxi drivers its worth considering.

Its back to the scooter next year.
