We arrived in Goa a week ago now and managed to get a cheap-o room at Jerry’s Place, it costs just 300rp a night. The beach here isn’t really up to much which has been a little disappointing and I was sick the first night we got here. In the morning Bruce ended up chatting to an English guy, Dale, who took him to the chemist for me. We ended up spending the next few days with Dale, he took us out, shows us around the place and took us out to some lovely places to eat.
It was really nice to have someone just to ’show us the ropes’ and made us feel so comfortable in Goa. We went for a tour of the market in Mapusa, went to a really nice restaurant in Panjim and then he took us to this outta the way restaurant with beautiful views!
He has also let us use his motorbike whenever we want to which is AWESOME! And, he ‘made’ Bruce get a clean shave (!) the first in 7 yrs and It looks really great, I think it even surprised Bruce!
Thanks a million Dale!

Hi babes, is Linz nice? I need another mistress !! Don’t tell Ursh. We are back in down town Cape Town and today i got my Residents Stamp in my passport. Woo bloody Pee. Urshs’ dad is driving everyone mad with tales about India, i think he had the time of his life. I’ve just set up the deal to sell Pashmina Shawls and Stuff at the Waterfront, good excuse to fly back to India. Do i need an excuse ? Keep safe and leave the bike with NO petrol. love, dale, isgaru@stcyprians.co.za p.s. I only had one previous wife and as you know i don’t drink pale ale !

Dale, Linz is Bruce’s uncle, I’m not sure that’s your cup of chai …. heehee!

OOOOOPPS. And thankfully i don’t drink chai. I did tell Jerry that Bruce was keen on football, but Jerry would have arranged it anyway. You know i have told Jerry that you can have the red bike all the time while in Goa and i assure you there will be no problem with that. Just remember to keep 100 rupees in one pocket and the rest elsewere. Sunday get together for the family to hear all about Brians, Urshs dad, trip. I may have a headache and go to the pub. Enjoy the bike and go slow, the views are better. love dale & ursh

Hi, babes. me again. I’ve been in touch with Govind, the owner, at Lyttons Hotel, Sudder Street, Kolkata. If you get to Kolkata go straight to him first, if you can’t afford to stay there, he’ll do a deal for me, or point you in the right direction. Remember to go to The 9th floor, for a beer. He will tell you were it is, just around the corner from Lyttons. Fairlawn Hotel is next door and photo of Ursh and Mrs Smith is on the staircase, love dale
