I have been in Goa for a few days getting to know my surroundings and starting to enjoy myself.
When I arrived I was very nervous about travelling again, I arrived in the middle of the night at my bungalow in Pallolem, I had booked it last minute so I wouldn't be stuck with nowhere to stay on my first night. It is very basic, literally a shack in the jungle behind the beach. I woke to the sounds of monkeys, birds, cockrels and god knows what else!
The next couple of days I wandered around the beach eating at different places, meeting a few people, I then bumped into an old friend and partied a bit, which was great fun!
However I was still feeling a little out of sorts and struggling to adjust to the myriad of India and living so close to nature in the tropical jungle! I am not a fan of spiders and so far I haven't seen one, but i've seen almost everything else, apart from snakes.
I have always been a 'fussy' eater, in that I don't like to eat shit food, so far I have been pleasantly surprised and now I am eating extremely well! I have discovered all the really good places to eat but I still havn't had decent coffee, but I am pleased to say this problem should be solved, I am assured..we will find out tomorrow morning.
Today I discovered new places to go and I am feeling more liberated, whereas before I was feeling restricted because of my lack of knowledge of the area. At home my life is predictable and I am in control, I live my own rules however unhealthy they may be.
At first I thought there was no way I would last the full month away from my gilded cage in London, but with a bit of patience, effort and the wise words of other steemians I am looking forward to the rest of the trip and as
