LAURAS BIRTHDAY!!

Hi everyone

Hope you are all well? We are both fine still loving Goa! I had a fantastic birthday so I thought I would tell you all about it! Had a bit of a worry as the day before my birthday i got ill! I got Delhi belly three weeks late, haha butthankfully i was alright for my birthday! In the morning i got three cards one from bec one from the guesthouse staff and the restaurant staff (as its so small we have made friends with all the staff they are lovely! They also bought me some flowers, a CD and a handmade diary and Becki has bought me an anklet! So i felt very lucky! I spent the day on the beach drinking cocktails, we met two nice Canadian men and they bought me birthday drinks!! In the evening we watched the best sun set we have had so far and had dinner on the beach then met up with the Candian blokes and sat outside a bar where we had a table next to the sea so we could see all the stars and some fireworks!! It was amazing! I had some random people sing me happy birthday and i was loving all the freebies!! haha! My highlight though had to be talking to family as its first birthday away from them, miss you all! Yesterday we went to the waterfalls (which we were meant to go on Sunday before i got ill!!) That was amazing went swimming in the waterfall, we then went the the spice plantations Becki washed an elephant and we visited a temple in old Goa. It is our last day in Goa today so of course it has to be spent on the beach!! We fly to Kolkata tomo morning then to Thailand on Sunday. Nat hope your having a great time so far we see u on the beach in couple of weeks!!!!!! If i dont get online before HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL FOR THE 18TH AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN FOR THE 22ND, HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY AND GET LOTS OF LOVELY THINGS!!

Mumbai and Goa!!

Hello everyone!!!

Firstly HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUTIE GILL FOR THE 2ND!!! Hope you had a great day xxx

We are still having a fantastic time in lovely India! Our last few days in Chandigarh were good! We visited the Golden Temple in Amristar which was really beautiful! We arrived in Mumabi on the 1st Feb, had a really nice flight!! Saw the sights of Mumbai on a 2 day tour we didnt realise Mumbai had so much to see!! The highlights were visiting some ancient buddha caves, going to Gandhi's residence which is now a museum, and seeing a huge outside laundry where over 15,000 people work!!

Then we headed to Goa on Monday evening on an overnight bus which was incredibly long and tiring!! We finally arrived and found a nice small guesthouse to stay in (Our bartaring skills are paying off as we got the room rent down from 700 to 550 rbs!!) We are both loving Goa especially the beach which is only a 5 minute walk from where we are staying! We have spent the last 4 days on the beach so we are definately working on the tans!!!! We are hopefully going to be doing a waterfall trip on Sunday which is bound to be amazing!!! Wait for the pictures!!

Hope you are all well and are not missing us to much!! Love to you all L & B
