Now I am a bit more awake, feel I can make a start but sorry to say it won't be much of a tomb as didn't do anything exciting!

Left my house at midnight for the 4 hour drive to Heathrow so I was absolutely knackered before I even started! Flight delayed 2 hours by reported technical problem, no worries, just had a badly needed sleep! Being delayed meant less time to hang around Doha so wasn't a problem for me. Doha transfer was very easy and being on my own I was glad of that! Arrived silly o'clock in the morning, head buzzing and left my handbag on the plane got it back though. Slept for hours when I arrived at the guest house which I don't normally do as I like to get into Goa time as quickly as possible.

Spent all of my holiday just chilling out by the pool and visiting friends as after a rotton year here this is all I wanted to do. Went to Old Goa for the Feast and Mass with Goan friends/family which was lovely. Most of Goa seemed to be there so I wondered how everyone could take communion at the same time, they did, it was the most organised thing I have ever seen happen in Goa Afterwards took the children around the fair and market which was amazing, totally different to going to Ingo's and was great fun.

Polly50's party was a riot and everyone made such an effort with their fancy dress. A very enjoyable night and great to catch up with everyone again. There is nowhere quite like Goa for a celebration and this was definitely a "never to be forgotten" night.

A bit more to follow when I have time! Fizz
