HI ALL AND GREETINGS FROM GOA.
WE ENDED UP STAYING A COUPLE MORE DAYS IN MUMBAI BUT MOVED CLOSER TO THE WATER ( WITH WATERVIEWS AND CHEAPER) AND STAYED FOR TWO MORE NIGHTS THOUGH ON THE TOP LEVEL MAKING US GET FIT QUICK.
I AM VERY SURPRISED I THINK WE HAVE COME AT A GOOD TIME (NOT PEAK SEASON) AS THERE ARENT THAT MANY PEOPLE AROUND I MEAN ITS NOT OVERWHELMING THAT I WAS EXPECTING.
WE TOOK A 10 HOUR JOURNEY BY BUS AT NIGHT ON THE SLEEPER CABIN WHICH LEFT AT 8PM AND GOT INTO GOA AROUND 10 IN MORNING WE SLEPT... WELL THE BOYS SLEPT ALL THE WAY JON AND I HAD A BIT OF A ROUGH NIGHT. WITH THE BUMPING AND SPEED WOBBLES.
ANYWAY WE MADE IT AND TOOK OUR FIRST RIDE IN A RICKSHAW( XAVIE DROVE) OUT TO GOA BEACHES AHRUNDA? AND HIRED A SCOOTER AND HAVE BEEN RIDING AROUND EVER SINCE. ALL FOUR OF US ON ONE BIKE ITS LOTS OF FUN AND NOT TOO DANGEROUS. XAVIE IS IN CHARGE OF THE BEEPING AND BEEPS WHENEVER TAKING OVER OR IN SAYING THANKS TO THE PERSON WHO HAS JUST BEEPED US AND THANKED US.
WE ARE ACUALY STAYING IN A MASSIVE RESORT (WE ARE THE ONLY ONES) AND IT HAS A POOL SO THE BOYS ARE LOVING IT.
WE ARE AT THE END OF THE MONSOON SEASON AND SO ONLY RAINS ONCE BUT IS A MASSIVE DOWN POUR OVER IN ABOUT 10MINUTES.
WE ARE FEELING LIKE LOCALS NOW AS WE ARE ABLE TO PREDICT WHEN THE DOWNPOUR IS ABOUT TO HIT AS A FEW DROPS COME WE HAVE ALSO NOTICED THE DOGS AND LOCAL COWS ARE ALSO PSYCHIC WHEN THE RAIN IS ABOUT TO POUR AS THEY QUICKLYSCATTER MAKING THEIR WAY UNDER THE SHELTER/ INTO THE SHOPS TO GET OUT OF THE RAIN.
WE ARE HAVING A GREAT RELAXING TIME AND ARE ACTUALLY RELAXING INTO THE SWING OF THINGS AND (I) AM REALIZING MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT OUT TO GET US....EVERY ONE LOVES THE BOYS ESPECIALLY THE MEN AROUND OUR AGE KINGY HAD THE MAN (SOOOKY)WORKING AT THE HOTEL SWINGING HIM IN THE POOL AFTER JON HAD GOTTEN TIRED OF IT.
I WOULD LOVE TO BE GETTING ABIT OF SUN ON MY SKIN BUT DUE TO MY MODESTY HAVE TO SWIM IN A MASSIVE KAFTAN STYLE THING( MAKE FREESTYLE NOT SO FREE.
TODAY WE HUNG OUT DOWN AT THE BEACH AND HAD A PERSON SELLING JEWELRY COME UP TO ME SAYING HOW BEAUTIFUL OUR CHILDREN ARE AND HOW LUCKY TO HAVE TWO SUCH HANDSOME "BOYS"
THE GIRL THEN POINTS TO JON ABOUT 5 MS AWAY AND SAID WHO WAS THAT... I SAID MY HUSBAND.... SHE THEN WENT ON TO SAY...."THAT..???... HE LOOKS TO RANK TO BE MARRIED" WHAT I SAY "RANK" TO WHICH SHE SAYS "YES YES RANK....YOU KNOW LITTLE TOO LITTLE TO BE MARRIED.." THEN ADDING INSULT TO INJURY GOES ON TO SAY "WELL? YOUR CHOICE?!!!!" QUESTIONING AND NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY I HAD CHOSEN HIM....
NEEDLESS TO SAY JON WAS CUT WHEN I TOLD HIM... HOWEVER HE DID WANT ME TO TELL THIS STORY TO YOU ALL SO I THINK HIS GOTTEN OVER IT ALTHOUGH HE SAYS HE IS GOING TO START TAKING THE PROTEIN SHAKES THEY ADVERTISE FOR "MATCHSTICK BODIES" OVER HERE.
WE ARE HAVING A GREAT TIME AND BECAUSE WE DONT HAVE TO TIME LIMIT WE ARE TAKING OUR TIME AND ACTUALLY RELAXING THE BOYS GET A MIDDAY SLEEP AND ME TOO SOMETIMES WE ARE NOW GETTING TO SWIM IN A P OOL TO OURSELVES AND SCOOT AROUND WITH THE WIND IN OUR GOLDEN HAIRS.
WE WILL BE HEADING TO HAMPI WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS FOR SIGHT SEEING AND RUINS APPARENTLY 8 HOURS BY TRAIN.
WE ARE HAVING AGREAT TIME AND THE BOYS AN EVEN BETTER TIME. SORRY MY STORIES HAVE GOTTEN A LITTLE LAX I THINK HOLIDAY MODE HAS KICKED IN... SO FAR A WEEK IN I THINK AND NO SIGN OF SICKNESS.. TOUCH WOOD.
LOVE YOU
THE BOYS AND BANKSIA
