restless in Goa

i have been back pack shopping here in Goa, incidentally this is where i spent my new years too!
ok it was like this , i bought one, it was a cheap fake of north face from thailand being sold in GOA.but the back support wasn’t great and pulled the weight down from the shoulders instead of supporting back ith weight.then nightmare ensued as i cancelled my plan top leave next day and went back to exchange it , glad with the current one, its a patch on the aus $ prices, it cost me Rs 1500, 20 pounds.hers my news,
ok sabbatical from work is ongoing ,this i sthe the first time that in the fourth month i have not worked in the longest time !
Although I did get a job offer from a boutique guest house owner here in Goa,south India. Incidentally we were waving a car down for a lift(hitch hiking is what i specialise in these days -alkthough short distances strictly speaking)
and the car that stopped had great ppl when i started talking to them about my life,offerred a role as a hotel manager in their newest venture.
Strangely the wages are quite low here as it isnt mainstream metropolitan city, so i have hsitated ,also as this is peak tourist season , they insist i quit my travelling plans and start work asap ,then take off in the low season (monsoons ) for travelling....
i am two minds still.
ok
greetings from south india,
since the last week of dec i have begun the jouirney,for now i am travelling south india, leaveing GOA today for KArnataka, Gokarna.
Then planning to go down south aong the coast, to mangalore and then go to Kannur along the karnataka malabar coast and then cut across to teh wyanad wildlife sanctury.
the original plan was to go up to HAmpi,vijaynagar ruins from goa ,but thi smorning i missed the train and since two of my friends were going to Gokarna i will join them.
Rest everything is an adventure,living out of a bag, living with ruteins firmly placed in my hand but most f the times certain unpredicvtable circumstances make one change the directyion we have chosen for the journey, so i am on my way .....
ok will write in on the next internet stop,
