And tonight was our first night properly alone so we decided for the first time to stay in & eat rather than going out. The only thing is our room doesn’t own any cooking apparatus, not even a kettle. Bear in mind this immediately prevents the goodness of pot noodles and of course tea. Undeterred we ventured round to the local corner where we were sure we would find some paper plates/bowls and an easy snack. Wrong!
Instead we ended up eating Alpen out of two beer mugs we purchased, with warm and slightly out of date milk, with plastic spoons that bend backwards as you eat them. So surviving well you might say ;)
On top of this our room is infested with mosquitos and flies, so the walls are swiftly becoming a graveyard for splattered bugs and we’re swatting around like paranoid lunatics.
And we've spent most the afternoon washing our clothes & underwear in a tiny sink with cold water & a bar of soap, and hung them around our room like a chinese laundrette - not a great look when the lady who owns the guest house pops by for a chat.
Apart from that all is good; we’re giving our testimonies & leading Sunday school at church tomorrow, hopefully followed by a carnival which is coming through town. In the meantime we’re going to stick to our crisp and biscuit collection and maybe consider eating out more frequently!

ReplyDeleteYou do make us laugh!!! Love hearing all the news. Grandad loved his birthday card & has had a nice day..............xxxx
ReplyDeleteSo when you say carnival that's coming through town you do realise that's the Goa Carnival right? It's pretty famous, maybe not as famous as Rio but pretty famous nonetheless, it's because of the Portugese who used to rule over Goa. You're so fortunate to be there at the same time, have a lovely time and maybe even enjoy some food there? Although anything from a pint glass is super classy! Love you big time x x x
