Arambol

Arambol is amazing . . . it's the complete end of the season so the beaches are deserted, prices are low ,and the people here are more "traveler" type and less obnoxious touristy type

Had some delicious freshly grilled shark last night while sitting on a table on the beach overlooking the ocean. Havent seen a glorious sunset yet but i have two nights left here for the evening clouds to clear which i hope they will .

just a short walk from the beach i am on, past some rocky cliffs, is another EVEN MORE deserted beach (that i am headed to right after this update) with a lake that comes up to the backside of the sand filled with fish and bordering green hills . . . incredible.

just booked my ticket to mumbai for the night of the 27th, and will wake up in mumbai o nthe 28th to spend the entire day there, and then head t othe airport at about 11PM to catch my 2AM flight to brussels . . . where i will then RUN from the airport to the train station to catch my train to amsterdam . . . where i will then probably get absolutely no sleep that night or the night after that due to this crazy queen's day festival that just happens to be going on there when i am there.

thats about all . . . i am browner (color wise) than most of the indians on this continent

  1. Hi Ben,
    Thanks for the returning home travel plans that sound "hectic." Is Mackenzie traveling back to the USA with you, or going on by herself? Where will you be staying in Mumbai until you catch your flight to Brussels? Hope your travel plans go As Planned.........Look forward to seeing you upon your return, after you've had time to rest up, DECOMPRESS,
    and reflect on your incredible travel experience. Love you

  2. I'm ditching Ben from here and going to volunteer for a few more weeks on my own! I've been updating my facebook notes instead of a blog--if you're interested, you may be able to read them already (if not, just friend request me)!
