India - Through Chris's Eyes

Tuesday 23rd March

After a very comfortable flight we arrived in Mumbai and have very nearly made up the time we were behind. Amid a little confusion we have to find our way to catch our internal flight to Goa.

Customs/Policeman pinches my lighter on the way through, he must've known I never have one and just wanted to make me feel at home. Waited another 4-5 hours for the plane to Goa to take off and an uneventful journey taking roughly 45 mins was achieved, arriving at about 15:30. The heat when leaving the airport was about 33c, which was more than enough for me.

A rather hairy taxi to Benaulim was taken, roads are just chaotic and sounds of car horns are the norm it looks. Arrived at the beach and quickly checked into a Beach Hut for 3 nights, very basic but it'll do us and we're ready to chill out and relax. Great!!!

An evening stroll on the beach and dinner saw an end to the day, been up about 40hrs, so a little tired to say the least.
