FIRST FULL DAY IN GOA

We took it easy today as we had not slept last night with the lack of breeze and humidity.  It is easier to sleep in late morning or late afternoon.

John and I swam in the pool and bird watched from our balcony and talked to the guesthouse inhabitants.  We learned more of the long-term living of Europeans in Goa to avoid Winter.

We walked into Benaulim village and used the ATM successfully and saw a supermarket for the first time in India - a small Tesco Express size but with lots of Western goodies.

John had a 70 pence haircut and looks less like the wild man of Borneo.  We went for our first swim in the ocean in Goa this afternoon and it was a good surf and like a warm bath.  Spent a couple of hours sitting in a beach shack to hug the shade.  Moira and I have yet another bout of the Delhi Belly today after the tandoori chicken last night so we are sticking to Dioralyte and boiled rice and dry toast today - so far John has escaped.

Tonight we feel it's too hot to go to bed - probably stay up all night

 This was our guest house for the week in Benaulim. And here is the communal area with a few fellow guests.

Now I know the true meaning of the phrase 'like a pig in clover'as it wallowed around in the water eating the clover and other greenery.

Also saw some very bright mating shield bugs today
