2 Weeks in Goa!



Have just come back from a 2 week holiday in Goa, India.

Fabulous place. Bloody hot though. Was 38 degrees in the day and about 25 at night! I would recommend it but you can't just go last minute. You need a visa to go to India, you can't just get off the plane and get in, noooo! There's a process where you need to send your passports off with 35 pounds to the Visa company. They then reject your visa for some minor infringement then you have to go to the office who won't process the visa fast enough for you to be able to go. You then go to the consulate to get help, which they do and visa you get, but a lot of hassle and worry!
If you want to go get the visa sorted well in advance!

Once I got there then very nice! Lovely hotel, staff can't do enough for you and plenty to do. The Mrs and I went to see waterfalls, the local cathedrals and swam with and rode on elephants! Tremendous experience.

Oh and I read 3 poker books whilst relaxing by the pool: Every hand revealed by Gus Hansen, An FBI Agent guide to deciphering poker tells by Joe Nevaro and Heads up No Limit Holdem by Colin Mosham. All excellent books.

Okay back to the grind, poker and work. Played a swift session on Boss today, won 11 euros so all good!
