Me and my girls at fight night!
One night in Bangkok at Muay Thai Boxing
Goa and Kerala
December, 2006
We are currently in Bangkok, Thailand ( One night in Bangkok and the world's our oyster...) and we keep getting caught up in a whirlwind of Thai massages, great food and lovely cocktails, thus we have severely lagged on posting for Goa and Kerala...sorry bout it.
Goa was relaxing and tropical. We had dinner by candlelight every night ON the sand, and ate fresh papayas, coconuts, and pineapples on the beach during the day. We baked, rather fried, in the scorching Indian sun. The Arabian Sea is calm, warm, and inviting, but it is sooooo hot the water felt like a warm bath, which is not very refreshing. It was great to be able to kick up our nasty feet for bit on the beautiful beaches of Goa. We stayed for a few days at Anjuna Beach, which is the so -called party area( We didn't make it out to the clubs, we'll tell you about it later, but we can say that the story involves lost sandals, a couple too many cocktails, and a long stumble home without a flashlight). We also stayed on Palolem Beach. This place was purrrfect! Goa was a great escape from the harsh realities of the rest of the country.
Kerala was a complete suprise and what a treat! We stayed in a beautiful guesthouse with hardwood floors and it's own pet eagle...kinda wierd but cool. We were lucky enough to score an all day canoe trip with a local guide. It was awesome! He took us around the backwaters and we were able to experience the villages and people from a local's standpoint...simply amazing. He even took us to his house on the water where we went fishing with dough balls hanging from a hook on a stick! Old school style, hence we didn't catch a thing! We visited a local Tody shop which was interesting to say the least. Tody is beer made from coconut milk- it's warm, stinky and na na na nasty.
We are having way too much fun here in Thailand so maybe we should start telling you about that!!!!!! Next blog...we promise. All we have to say is Bangkok is one hell of a city...party anyone? Love from the "so glad we are in Thailand travellers"-

It looks like you guys are having, literally, the time of your lives. The pictures and posts are amazing - I am guessing that was Sam's idea...Anyhoo, I am guessing there are drinks to be had and beaches to laze about on, so, since you won't be getting our Xmas card - have a happy holidays! Although I can see you are already doing that...
Cheers! - Eric (the guy who used to dig it the most) & Karey
