Beachin' it at Colva and Candolim, Goa, India!
Blog: The Amazing Dawdle - 9 May 2010
Colva, GoaWe started our journey pretty excited to get out of the Novotel Bangkok Airport hotel, where we had been holed up for 3 full days and two nights, due to the craziness in the city centre. After dropping a wad of cash (that we hope will be partly refunded by our expensive travel insurance company), we were eager to head on out.

Why borrowed slippers, eunuchs and video cameras make for an interesting train ride in India
Blog: Chickstravelflicks - 6 January 2010
George Winters said, “If God had really intended men to fly, he’d make it easier to get to the airport”, which is why we decided to take the train to Udipi – my dad’s hometown. It was only a four and half hour journey further south of Goa. Taking a plane would have meant first [...] Related posts:Incredible India! I have a confession to make.

It’s Better in Goa
Blog: Passed Ports: images and anecdotes from our travels - 5 January 2010
The last leg of the journey of our 3-day long journey from Kerala to Goa was an overnight bus (with no shocks) from Mangalore. The bus, 24 rows of 4 seats across, was full. There were a whopping five other women on board. We had intended to stay in Palolem, a beach in the south. But [...]

iPhone Hook Up Hell in India
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 18 December 2009
Bringing and unlocked iPhone to India seemed like a good idea at the time. We thought that if we couldn’t get to an Internet Café, we would at least be able to check our email. It is three weeks into our trip and we have finally managed to make our iPhone and Data Plan work. Here is what we had to go through to make our iPhone work in India.

A Day in Goa
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 17 December 2009
Everyone says “you’ve got to go to Goa.” So we did. Patnem Beach is a little slice of paradise. The water is warm, the surf is mellow and the sunsets are to die for. It is an easy place to spend time in. Calm waters flow into fine white sand. Days are spent practicing yoga, taking long walks and working on tanning our Canadian white skin. Goa is different from the rest of India. Alcohol flows freely, bikini clad tourists flaunt their skin and vendors are laid back when selling their wares. I can see why people spend their entire winter on these beaches and never venture far away.

Patnem Beach has some Pretty Awesome Yoga
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 15 December 2009
It was supposed to just be a drop in class when we visited Swami Shiva Nand Jee’s class on Patnem Beach. We followed the painted fabric yoga signs to a tranquil hut behind Mountain Palms Restaurant. Three and a half bamboo thatched walls enclose a yoga studio. Large beach mats lay over the sand with rows of yoga mats facing centre. Many people are intimidated by the photos of our instructor pasted on the walls. His body is contorted in all directions. Legs over his head, postures where he is shaped like a pretzel. He's not going to make us do that is he?

Arrival at Patnem Beach in Goa
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 14 December 2009
It is 5:00 am when we stepped off the train in Goa. The morning is still dark and nobody is around. We seem to be the only people getting off at this stop. The beach is deserted. So we pull up a chair at one of the empty beach bars and wait in the dark., dogs are sleeping at our feet and we look out towards the sunrise to see large mounds in the sand. Are those cows we see? Yes, the cows own the beach in the morning and they are sleeping along with everyone else. It is calm and tranquil.

Lady in Southern India
Blog: A Lady in London - 7 November 2009
Last month I took a whirlwind trip through northern India. I saw the sights in Delhi, visited the Taj Mahal at sunrise, explored Rajasthan, and went searching for tigers in Ranthambore National Park. It was an amazing experience, except for one thing: I only got to see a tiny part of the vast, diverse country that is India.

Dudhsagar Falls in Goa
Blog: Atlas Parasite - 20 August 2009
Why are waterfalls so cool (pun intended)? Is it because they are nature’s shower? Or was it some of those Herbal Essences commercials that twisted our minds? Nevertheless, I do love waterfalls, especially those where you can swim (not on top of the waterfall of course). So when we were planning the trip to [...]Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast)

Bhakti Kutir in Goa
Blog: Atlas Parasite - 17 July 2009
Although our name is Atlas Parasite, it has nothing to do with how we treat the world. We are not parasites in the literal sense of the word, as in we don’t suck the life out of the world. We are just feeding off as many worldly experiences as we can. So when it comes [...]Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast)
