Howzat ?

We finally reached Palolem beach just as the sun was setting after 175 km's of incident packed riding. I'd been thinking about nothing else apart from jumping in the sea for the final 30 k. We saw so much today as we made our way through the Western Ghat mountains. Elephants (which I didn't realise were real until they started heading towards me !), monkeys, women mixing concrete & applying it with there bare hands to repair some landslide damage, and 3 car pile up which caused the biggest traffic jam of trucks i've seen. The most amusing moment though (for everyone except me) was when I parked up for a cup of tea, and a cow took a liking to the flowers on the front of my bike (placed there for good luck by the Guru) and proceeded to eat the lot :( We're making like hippies tonight & sleeping in little huts on the beach. They are really basic but its an amazing place to stay & i'm looking forward to being able to hear the sea.
