      Goa is Western prices be warned. If you go to Subway you pay Western prices. Book in at The Briganza Hotel in Goa , thats reasonable for Goa. Or see Nadim the Taxi driver , his brother has Beach Chalets , but they are usually booked up in Season.

    What a nightmare with the accommodation, so glad it all worked out well! I'd have been in heaven in thst cute little spot with the vegan restaurant nearby. Reminded me of Byron Bay. So glad you got to experience sound healing, it's my favourite sort of relaxation. Lots do it here in the UK as well when you get back. The eagle was incredible. Hope the next bit of your journey is more drama free.

    A winning episode, as always! It actually brought tears to my eyes seeing that jatayu’s monument was dedicated to the safety and honor of women. That made me go and read more about the statue, and it turns out that the chap that abducted Sita gave her one year to decide if she would take him as her husband, and if not he would chop her up and eat her for breakfast 😳😳😳 Spoilt for choice that gal was. I loved the sound healing experience, and how it affected you both differently! Thank you as always for taking us with you. Stay safe 💗

    The nicest and best value places I stayed were often recommendations made by rickshaw drivers. It's possible they made a small commission, but even if they did it was never noticeable. There's lots of places in India and indeed the world that still don't rely on Internet bookings, presumably if they're offering good accommodation at a good price they don't have to.

    Good morning from Florida in the USA.
    I was surprised that you didn't take at least one surfing lesson, anyways, as usual it's a great video of your experiences there in India. About that giant eagle, I'll bet that the story of the bird has some truth to it, after all, there were giant animals upon the Earth at one point so I have no doubt that a giant injured eagle landed there on the cliffside at some time in history.
    I was sad in hearing about the troubles you experienced on this particular stretch of the journey but always impressed at how well you weather these things. Much Love to You Both.
