Well thank god this week has come to an end.....what i hear you gasp you've just spent a week in a tropical paradise. Well yes i have and it bored me to tears. Only today as i am leaving have i had my first conversation with a couple of intelligent and for that matter attractive Canadian girls. One of whom has just come from the Ashram i am going to and she said it was amazing so although she said i may not survive the 26+ hour train journey, i will love it when i get there. Phew! here's hoping.
I need some real India. Goa sold it's soul a long time ago and now it's like a pilgrimage to a forgotten and buried lifestyle. Trying desperately to cling on to a few Rupees no matter from whose hands they come from.
Goa was great but not for me, Hey I've always got Clifton or Camps Bay.
Hope i find a more meaningful experience in Kerela.

High Tide
Oh the effort! It is so laid back here things are almost horizontal. Well people are most of the time.
I have been indulging in the art of hedonism doing bugger all basically except for an extraordinary massage yesterday for over an hour and costing about $5. Eating everything under the sun from grilled fish smothered in garlic to curries of various descriptions (will learn more before i comment too verbosely) Everything has been good, sometimes even excellent! ....But you know what? I am bored stiff. Where i am seems to attract amongst others British Midland over 50's on SAGA tours or the inevitable German stereotypically claiming their deck chairs so not really my cup of tea.
In light of this i have decided to head for Kerela on Thursday to the ashram there with the hugging mother. I might get a hug too. As i mentioned to some of you they get involved with community projects so I'll see what i can do there...perhaps just chill and meditate for a couple of weeks, we'll see.
