Mediterranean anyone?

(Rich typing)
We've decided to take respite from the extremely hot sun in the relative solace of the local 'internet cafe'. With the air conditioning on, it makes a real haven from outside! It seems to be getting hotter by the day at the moment, although the sea makes a refreshing, if warm, break!
Yesterday we dragged ourselves off the beach to the hustle and bustle of Anjuna Flea market. (a one and a half hour bus ride from here) Originally this was started back in the swinging sixties by "hippies and freaks" as they're affectionately known in the lonely planet and by locals, wanting to extend their stay in India, by raising money by selling little trinkets, souvenirs and cakes etc. Nowadays it's a huge affair, where you need at least 4 hours to do it any justice! We went with our new found famous friend - an English-American called Sam, who is an actor, and has starred in films such as, Snatch, Hackers, Eyes Wide Closed and can now be found gracing the West End in Porgy and Bess! Hes here on his own and is staying a little down the beach at some other beach huts.
At the market we bought a selection of ultimately useless things, such as little coconut boxes, jewelery and (admittedly mre useful) a couple of pashminas and some handmade salad servers for our house in newcastle. (made from yak horn shonah states!) The market was incredibly hot, only made bearable by the frequent drink stops at little bars.
Upon returning we went for a swim as the sun set, in warm waters and slightly cooler air temps. All very romantic! haha.
After having showered we went to the local restaurant for our first proper meal together since shonah got ill. Was like luxury to order what we both wanted, instead of ordering what sho could manage to keep down! We even had starters and two bottles of beer - splashing out for the evening. Our frivolties cost us back the equivalent of 6 pounds - money well spent we reasoned!
This morning we spent another few hours on the beach, contemplating if and when, (or more like, if we can actually be bothered to move) we will move elsewhere. Our logic at the moment jleads us to believe we'll be hard pushed to find anywhere else worth moving to permanently, so for now, we stay firmly put. If we do decide to move, we're going to hire mopeds for the day and go and see whats what.

Gilly - no idea as to why australia couldn't read our diaries - the address you gave is correct and should work fine over there?

Hope things in the UK are alright.
Love to all,
Rich and Sho
