hail!

ahh yes the indian head wiggle. i was going to mention it before but it slipped my mind. it does seem to mean any number of things, and i have imployed it regulaly in my comunications with the natives.

not got to hampi yet, but no doubt we will in the near future. i swam out to geoffs rock but the tide must have been higher when you were here as there was a thick layer of barnicles which sliced my hands and feet to ribbons in my attempts to clamber up. we went all the way to the right of the beach though and swam across to the fantastically named “monkey island” (it looked like the one in the game aswell!) and leapt from boulder to boulder for ages. great fun!

just heading back to mumbai today. the mumbai-goa train journey has now become as familiar as the barnham- chichester route and just as tedious.
