Lots more photos on the blog now! Make sure to scroll down for photos of Munnar (including a circus!), Kochi, Bangalore, Pallolem and Patnem. Sati is here, and we're all very pleased, and she'll blog for herself in a couple of days.
Goa's beaches are home to maybe one lakh or more mostly stray dogs - a motley mongrelly crew, but most with tail held high and a sweet nature. Rabies fears struggle with general soft-heartedness: the soppy cute ones who are no bother have a significant evolutionary advantage here (reinforced by the 20 rupees the dog catcher gets for each dead collarless dog at the end of the season). This little fellow has a more woolly coat than most, so he's figured out how to find somewhere cool to lie ...
We watched him for a while, hiding from the sun ourselves on Patnem beach in the shaded garden of "Home": beautiful surroundings, great food, nutella milkshakes (oh yes), friendly Swiss German owners/staff, good company and breakers just big enough for an exhilarating bodysurf every so often.
