After three weeks of trying to make the most of what India has to offer, yesterday came as a big contrast to what I'd become used to. Here in Goa there are the obvious differences of (from what we've seen) less poverty, rubbish and polution but it also makes it easier to identify the beach with NZ. So far it feels like the main benefit of Goa is a halfway mark between NZ and India. The beach we're at feels about as western as a third world country can get and so to me it seems like a stepping stone before we see our family and friends in less than a week back home.
Obviously I can't wait to see everyone, drink tap water and end the hounding of stall-owners but at the same time just having an opportunity to just kick back with the guys without any schedule or agenda is a very welcome change to the packed-out, past few weeks we've had. Looking forward to our last few days.
