Well, we’re in Palolem at last, having finally expunged ourselves of the hell that was Gokarn: a place that may be the stepping stone to nirvana for Hindus and fellow spiritual travellers but to me seemed loathsome.

We’re staying at Premier Cabana, Hut 11, in case fellow blog readers (ie, Slightly) should be in the locality. We may move on to Agonda, but Palolem is good for a day or two.

This internet cafe is selling 3 tickets for the ODI. 400 rupee tickets for 1000 rupees. About fifteen quid. I’ll probably just watch it on a shack telly.

I’ll wear a suit. I have a white one in store that needs an outing. No tie, though. I trust a black teeshirt will be acceptable.

That rock Geoff dived off. If it’s the one I think it is, he’s lucky to be alive!
