Okey doke then,
few changes since the last post. We're no longer in Goa. We took a train from Margao in Goa, 17hrs and 1050km to Thivandrum, Kerela. We're now as far South in India as we're going to go. The picture was one taken a while ago in Goa of Simon under a Just Gents sign, (Just for you Paula). We'll keep an eye out for a hardressers with the correct spelling!! The train trip down here was actually really good, we were in 3AC class, a lower class than last time, but we were with 4 Indian lads on holiday to Kerela, they gave us some of their food and we kept them going with some good old ninties tunes, they loved Michael Jackson. We managed to get the camera working again when we were in Margao, cost about 18 pounds and they bussed it in all the way from Mumbai for us and it arrived about 5mins before we left for our train. The other little matter we sorted whilst we were in Margao is we finally managed to get around to unlocking my phone, (we have tried before, honest!). Got a sim card in it now and the number is 00919744873360 just in case anyone fancies ringing or texting us at any point! I dont have any numbers saved on the phone so send us an email or text so we have your numbers. Had a little stroll around thivandrum today and somehow managed to get ourselves standing next to the police with loads of communists on one side and anti chinese government protesters on the other side. It all went off quite peacefully though, bit of an anticlimax in the end. Had a look around the zoo here, has some quite cool animals in it although a lot of them looked extremely bored. Had a look around an art gallery aswell which had an artist called Nicholas Roerich in it, his son paints aswell and they both had really good pictures!
Tomorrow is all change again. We're going to make our way to the coast to a place called Varkala to let simon catch up on the beach time that he missed with his heat rash. After that were heading further up the coast to Cochin, hopefully doing a backwater cruise on the way if we can afford it!!
Glad you've finally worked out how to post comments Rob, wasn't too hard was it...?
PS. Just to remind you all leave us a comment with your phone nunmbers or even better, send us a text!
Talk to you all soon!!
Paul and Simon
Hello
ReplyDeleteHey actually it was really difficult for me to work it out as I only have three surviving brain cells and one of those thinks about beer, one thinks a bout women leaving me only one to work out this malarchy. So Kim, Paul... pray do tell??? You'll have to facebook me that though i suppose but it looked promising!!! Well done lid!
You have to do the Backwaters, i don't think it cost much at all! You have to go to Salt and Pepper cafe in Fort Kochin, they sell beer out of tea pots an mugs cos u can't drink. Even better is the fact it is opposite the police station!
There was like an evening with a Sitar player to there which was brilliant!
Liverpool is mild but damp at the moment. Been cycling as much as possible to work. Love it. I think it is the element of danger! Buzzin for China, cannot wait. My friends Girlfriend sent me a list of places and food to try and stuff, i will forward it on to your hotmail.
So where to next boys?
Enjoy enjoy enjoy!!!!!
See ya soon.
Love
Rob xxx
