Many thanks have pm you.

Narial are the bags real leather for that price?

No they are not leather but look very much like it. We got talking to the girl on the train and she had this really nice bag which she bought on Linking Road - I thought it was leather but it wasn't - not cheap looking. But for 300 you can use them for a while then give them to the charity shop.
My friend bought a couple of nice small leather clutch bags for about 300rps. each

Thanks for that info narial, i bought bags like that in vietnam so i will go to leather touch in condolim for my leather ones,even though i think i payed to much in january, will have to barter i bit better next time.my daughter wonts to buy a new mobile phone any recomendations to were to buy one, and are they copies or the real thing would be great, we are staying in santa cruz east near the railway station. Thankyou you have been very helpfull., dont wont to miss a good shopping opportunity.

great and interesting report tomitma.... and I have to agree with you about kingfisher brilliant!!!

yes Roma I just love the train and the trip from Mumbai to Goa (and vice versa) is a great one, lots of good food (constantly) and if you go overnight beds and its clean ... well you know...india clean but you do need to book well in advance particularly when the Indians are on hol
chilly

i plan on doing a 3 night tour with a travelagent,daytripper in goa by train when i get there on nov 24th,really looking forward to it,if they only would answer my emails,lol

Hello Les..I've tried to read Daytrippers website/page today but my computer keeps alerting me to bugs and shuts me off...Have you had any of these problems with their site...

As Daytrippers are run by Eddie from England, maybe he is not yet back in Goa to reply to e-mails. Keep trying, we have done that trip a few years ago and it is brilliant.

They still keep up with emails when they are back home in Wales unless he is travelling when his son looks after things.
Have just been on daytripper site and it is working fine - the email came up ok.
