We stopped for our first taste of Indian food once we got out of the city. It almost blew our heads off, but our tastebuds are starting to acclimatise.

After breakfast we headed off through the Maharashstra countryside for a 12 hour journey to Goa.

We were all drifting in and out of sleep by now. but there was some lush countryside on the way down if you could stay awake long enough to appreciate it.

That's our cabbie Sanjit on the right. We had to stop and ask directions to Arambol a few times.

We arrived in Mumbai at 5 am. Our journey to Goa started with a cab ride through a Mumbai dawn.

Hi I'm Al and I live in Bournemouth, UK.

 My girlfriend Sarah and I are about to embark on a trip to India and I'm starting this blog to document our travels. We leave on 22nd Oct and we are both very excited as it is our first time in India. We will be travelling out there with my friends Toby and Ulla and their son Alastair.

Sarah and I work(ed) with adults with autism until we decided to up sticks, we both love the job but felt the need for some adventuring. I had my last day today and we have just a week to go till we leave. We went to see our friends Sarah and Kieran today.

                                       

They are kitting out a van to live in at the moment. We went for lunch at a greasy spoon with them. I had a cheeseburger.
