Resort day! Spent day with this lovely at the Park Hyatt, allllll the way on the other side of Goa. Two glasses of wine in this weather and I'm drunk as a skunk, now a coffee and maybe I'll be able to squeeze in a quick pool visit before I head off home. #monthingoa #traveldiary

Travelling toes in the hammock. Reading the first of Anita Nair's Inspector Gowda mysteries and enjoying it immensely. This #monthingoa life has only just begun and already everything has slowed down even though it's Monday for the rest of the world. Some reading, then some writing and definitely some eating. This is my life now. Delhi, I don't miss you a bit. (except K still to join me.) #nowreading #traveldiary

Sitting out on my friend's lovely Assagao porch, chatting to her animals. This fellow and his companion are being sent off to the kennels while my friends travel to "teach them some manners" which is a relief because they are very big, says the cat person. (in our temporary care: two cats, one who is so dinky, I want to slip her into my pocket.) #monthingoa #traveldiary #goa

Here I am in lovely bright Goa, home for the next month. Looking forward to dropping my Delhi doldrums, and taking up the beach life. Starting with susegad. Vital. #traveldiary #monthingoa

Obligatory my-plane-flew-over-the-Everest shot. Home again to humidity, traffic jams but also my favourite things. #traveldiary #bhutan

And so the sun sets on my #bhutan visit. Such a gorgeous kingdom. Not thrilled about resuming normal life at 4.30 tomorrow morning as we shuffle off back to the airport and Delhi but at least I have more travel to look forward to with Goa next week. #traveldiary

Big fat antinational beef burger at Cloud 9, Thimphu's best restaurant none of the cabbies have heard of. This is a mini burger which I still couldn't finish because I am a disgrace. Rolling back on to #mountainechoes where I'm holding forth on teenagers for my last session. #traveldiary #bhutan

Legs all cramped from all the walking I did yesterday, I blame my pretty but useless shoes. Also cramping: my tummy at 4 am, perhaps from my late night momo meal. *sigh* this image from yesterday when I still had my health, of the general post office which had more people going in and out of it than any post office I've seen in a long time. #traveldiary #bhutan

Started the day with this (only managed about two sips) deadly Bhutanese local stuff that's a lot like absinthe and/or ouzo, all lethal and aniseed-y. Now I'm drinking from a travel sized bottle of red wine because this bar doesn't do by the glass. Waiting for Indian Ocean to begin their gig, right in front of our hotel. #mountainechoes #traveldiary #bhutan

Did a little shopping in my wandering about today. I love picking up unusual accessories when I travel, and these traditional woven bracelets with a super modern design were perfect. Seen here with another souvenir (a Little Prince ring from Athens). Cheap too! (only have WiFi at brief moments through the day so forgive the instaspamming) #bhutan #traveldiary
