HI every one

I'm in a little Fishing Village in Goa called Pololem with a beautiful golden crescent beach surrounded by palm trees. There are  little wood huts to sleep in and some Cafe/Restaurants to chill out in and spend the day sipping ice cold Kingfisher beer (god its a hard life).

I got here by mistake after getting off the train from Mumbai and getting on the wrong bus but it turned out to be a great mistake.

The train ride from Mumbai was a  adventure in its self, First I had to find the right train in the madness of Mumbai's mane train station then find the right compartment and bunk.

I ended up sharing a compartment with a lovely family from north India on there annual holiday, they kind of adopted me for the 16 hour trip and I learnt one of there boys to play chinese Patients and by the end of the trip the little get was beating me.

Anyway here in pololem there is not a lot to do (except sip Beer) so I have been doing a lot of walking and exploring the beach, and the jungle at the back of the beach. I was up at 6.30am this morning and decided to have a wonder on my own and I ended up finding a beautiful lake in the middle of the Jungle and as I rounded a corner there was about 6 wild water Buffalo having a dip in the lake so I had to creep very quietly past them so as not to scare them and more importantly not to get attacked by them as they can be quite dangerous if scared.

Even the cows chill out here
