Just seen this - the dialling code from UK for mobiles is 0091 then the number, if you are dialling a landline from UK it is 0091832 then the number - hope this helps.

Give my love to Lawrence - mailed him a while back and I'm still awaiting a reply, I will shoot him when I see him :rofl

We are staying in the village Royal in Calangute, which sounds like a bit of a trek by the brouchure. Any idea how much it would be in a taxi to Baga where the clubs are? So we don't get ripped off on the first night

Hi, Anybody know of any good taxi men who pick up from airport from Cavossolem??

Thanks in advance.

The best thing is to get a taxi from the airport, they have fixed (ish) prices, they do occasionally try to give you the wrong change or pay for extra luggage (don't, unless you have lots) as fa as I am aware 1 main and one hand luggage is standard and not extra...

The latest list from 2009 can be found here, also links to train station price lists also...

Beachy, Hi thanks for the package, look forward to seeing you :)
Emails... Well, it does take quite a while I have to admit. My keys on my keyboard are somewhat worn, the most popular keys being o n m a s e . - as there are no letters left on them :)
I have added a new taxi list to the website (although it's not in the menu yet),

It's the most useful for me as it's based in Mapusa (my local town), although since the prices have gone up they have changed quiet a few, I don't know if it was printed wrong or they are just trying it on.. It's here anyway. Good if you want to know how much it SHOULD be from the beach into town. These are all one way prices, returns should be 25 - 50% more? (at a guess)

Re Lawrence

His home phone number is **** if you want to try that?
We have used him a number of times (mainly to and from the The Banana Shack, but also for trips) but last season he kept passing his jobs on (return airport trips!) to others for some reason!
I too have emailed without response!

Hi Kippaxian,
Thanks for the info but it's all sorted, heard from Lawrence a while back and he is picking me up at the airport (unless he has passed me on to someone else, which I sincerely hope he hasn't). He does share work out with his brother Luciano (which is fine) but I don't want picking up by any strangers :yikes Fizz
