So wrote my last entry had problems with facebook sent the invite to the first 100 people in my friends list twice. Sorry about that, in goa now going to try and send the invite to everyone else.
So.. Left the internet café and walked round the streets of Mumbai for a bit looking for some more trousers (the only pair I bought with me don’t have pockets) and some sandles (anybody who saw my shoes before I left realizes how desperately I need them!) didn’t buy anything though and went for some dinner in a café, sat there eating my dinner saw a few western faces so I though I’ll pick one and go and chat to them. Ended up having a beer with an Irish guy and were joined by some Norwegian girls was fun, they were trying to get us to go to a metal festival in Mumbai but we’d both already bought tickets to leaveL. Decide to walk back to the hotel and have an early night as I had to get up and get the train at 6.55 in the morning. Was a little bit pissed and full by now so thought I would sleep easy. Got back to hotel room and napped for about and hour then woke up and couldn’t get back to sleep. Was really frustrating, finished my book (kane and abel by jeffory archer
) got up when my phone said 5.45 got showered and went to train station. I didn’t realize I’d set my phone to the wrong time somehow and it was 25 minutes to slow so I had to walk very fast to get to my train on time. The train station was much different from any in England with people lying around in the main hall, I imagined there’d been there all night, was a nice jovial feel about it apart from some of the police who were trying to keep people in line at the platforms for the local trains. Had a small palaver trying to find my seat but got there in the end. Got a 3 bunk air conditioned sleeper which had 6 other westerners in it. Chatted for a little bit (although it was early and I was tired) then went to sleep for 5 hours. Was gutted when I woke up as I’d ordered lunch which came with my ticket but because I was asleep no body woke me up and I missed it.. Not the end of the world and I got over it very fast. Every body on the train was pretty nice although one of the guys was a bit of a tit and loved the sound of his own voice, was funny though because every time he started talking his girlfriend would do a silent groan (if that’s possible and stare out of the window!) Got off the train at tivin (?) with the intention of going to either vagator (Russian guy had told me to go) or arambol (irish guy had told me to go) hadn’t decided where to go when I saw these two girls (Austrian it turns out ) so I asked them where they were going and they said vagator so I said ‘me too, do you want to share a taxi’. Got a room in a hostel easy then went for some dinner and a drink. Nice evening apart from the fact we were all knackered. Got the best nights sleep I’ve had so far and the girls were pretty cool (and good lookingJ! Having really good time, liking India a lot still not got much of a plan might chill out on the beech or go for a walk to the next town. Going to hire a moped soon I think. Going to Halloween party tonight can’t wait.
Only paid my accommodation up until tomorrow so need to find somewhere cheaper (although its only 350r and its nice) oh!!! just saw a snake roaming around the grounds of my hostel and got attacked by a frog last night!! Not good made my jump …
