Dear all,

 

We've been in India just over a week now . We flew into bombay, tired only to find our main luggage was still in Milan! Amazingly it appeared 2 days later , although we were starting to get used to travelling light. Its amazing what you don't need.

 

We set off to the coast asap as Bombay is not a great place to stay tyoo long. We got the train to Gokarna , south on the west coast. The train of course left from another station with an hour to go so we made it just in time , having a small adventure with local transport . The train journey was a good reintroduction to "real india" arriving in
gokarna in the early hours > gokarna is a Hindu pilgrimage site with beautiful beaches. It makes for a good place to stay a while.

 

Nadine unfortunately has a tummy bug today so I'm on call, but time is the best healer I expect. I hope shes better tomorrow.

 

Take care everyone, apologies for the group email, I wanted to stay in touch with as many people as possible.
