On the Konkan Railway

The morning was fresh, and a little cold. Margao train station was still busy even at 5.30 in the morning. The ticket office already had a queue and some people were camped out there. I guess getting a ticket is serious business. Ann and I work well in crowds, as she [...]

RedR: So you want to be a refugee?

Ann has been very interested in working abroad for a long time. Before we met I had been interested in working in Canada (specifically Toronto) and had tried to get a placement in CNIB but unfortunately it didn’t work out at the time. Working abroad gives you the time to really experience a [...]

Goa: I’m not a tourist get me outta here!

I’d always had an image of Goa in my mind inspired by the movie,Sea Wolves, which my Dad had bought many years ago. The film is about a group of ex servicemen from the Calcutta Light Horse heading from Calcutta in the north east down to Goa on the west coast to blow up [...]

Off to India and the sights of Mumbai!

The Journey

I guess I should start at the beginning. We flew out on boxing day 2008.  Ann had been ill for the last 4/5 days and only really managed to open presents and eat a little bit of our christas paella meal.  As usual the M25 was blocked so me being Mr Intelligent decided to [...]
