I think Palolem may be my paradise

This is going to be a much shorter and less rambly post than the other day (apologies for that) We're now in Goa. And I think I may stay here forever.
Arrived on Monday abour midday after a twelve hour train journey. Which I actually really enjoyed (thought it was all going to be a bit of a nightmare). We both got top bunks so slept with our bags under our heads which wasn't totally comfortable but we were both so knackered from trundling around Mumbai all day that we slept pretty well. Then when the sun came up it was lovely to watch the world go by.
So arrived in Madgao train station feeling hot and hungry and ready for the beach. Taxi ride to Palolem was...scary! But they do seem to know what they're doing these crazy drivers. Arrived to a swarm of Indians trying to get us to stay at their huts and trundled up and down the beach for a good half an hour trying to find a cheapy nice one and eventually came across a lovely place on the beach with a little veranda-ish thing, hammock, swinging chair, bathroom, next to the bar. 300 rs a night which is less than a fiver between us. Lovely lovely lovely. I forgot my camera cable again (and haven't taken many photos since we got here) but will upload some soon I promise.
We've just spent the last few days lapping up the sunshine with a Kingfisher to hand. The food here is delicious, lots and lots of fresh fish is brought in daily so we're making the most of it. It's gorgeous.
I can't really describe how amazing and beautiful this place is, it really is a little bit of paradise I think. I want you to all come!
