Happily stuck in Diu

Diun viikko on ollu kylla aivan ihana. Paa on ihan tyhja etta mista sita oikeen kirjottais ku me ollaan vaan chillailtu ja otettu rennosti. Taalta ei oikeesti haluais lahtea pois. Meidan queshouse on niin ihana, ja kaikki ihmiset keta ollaan tavattu, hiekkarannat, ruoat, auringonpaiste...
Skootteriajelut on ollu kans ihan huippuja! Skootterin kyydissa on ihanan viileaa ja tuuli puhaltaa korvissa, meri kimaltelee.. Saarakin sanoi loytaneensa vauhdin hurman taalla. Ja yolla vasta ihanaa onkin ajella, se on jotenki niin tunnelmallista. Yhtena paivana saatiin kutsu fullmoonpartyihin. Kutsuttiin sinne lisaa porukkaa ja lahdettiin yhdessa illalla ajamaan sinne, bilepaikka oli vahan kauempana meidan questhousesta. No, niita bileita me ei koskaan loydetty, mutta mentiin meidan omalle rannalle ja istuskeltiin siella jutellen, katsellen tahtia ja kuunnellen aaltojen aanta. Jotenkin ihanaa kun toisilleen ennestaan tuntemattomat ihmiset niin eri lahtokohdista kokoontuu yhteen..Ihania hetkia :).
No, jotain huonoakin sanottavaa. Eilen soin katkarapuja illalliseksi, ja yolla kun paastiin kotiin alko oksettaa. Oon koko yon ja tan paivan rampannu vessassa ja maannu huoneessa mutta nyt uskaltauduin tanne nettikahvilaan. Toivotaan etta tama menis talla ohi.

Seuraava matkakohde on viela hamaran peitossa. Joka tapauksessa mennaan Udaipuriin, mutta ehka sita ennen teemme mutkan yhdessa temppelikaupungissa. Ja katotaan huomenna, mika olo mulla on. Paivitellaan sitten taas etta missa pain Intiaa ollaan.

PS.Meidan naapuriin muutti suomalaisia! Ensimmaiset suomalaiset lentokentan jalkeen, aika friikkia..







The headline could have been Laid-back part 2. So relaxed it is here. Our normal day has been made of scooter riding in day- and night time, hanging out with Meno and Steve, eating REALLY well (not to mention Francesco's fresh tuna batties with garlic sauce. Seriously, we could make a blog just of the food we've been eating here!), going to the beach, avoiding cows&camels and sleeping. Personally I never thought of riding any kind of vehicle in INDIA, especially when I don't even have a driving license. But it wasn't so suicidecal(this is my own English word) as we thought. I had my first scooter ride here( I believe Miljan would be proud of me) and I enjoyed it so much! As did Aliisa and Aino too. We've been renting the scooters for 5 days now, as it's so cheap. We didn't even consider bicycles.. Why would we do any exercise here..?:D

Basically there's no night life in Diu. That's why we made our own night life. With these lovely people we've met here we've been to the beach having some beers and some suprisingly deep conversations. It’s so interesting how people in so different kind of conditions are gathering together. We heard many colourful stories from people who really have some life wisdom. Also had this "What are you thankful for"- circle, and we all three were happy to notice we are thankful for choosing to travel together.

Today we had quite a day. Aino had been eating prawns yesterday evening in O'coqueira. After that we though had a great night by the shore, sitting on the rocks and listening to the sound of waves. And talking about shy bladder!:D But after that we went sleeping and Aino felt a bit bad. She tried to sleep but soon she had to go throwing up. In the morning these tummy problems continued, so she had to have a rest day. Hopefully she's going to better tomorrow.
With Aliisa we still decided to go to "our beach" for the last time. Got shocked by a person, who, altough paid for our lunch, also said that Obama should be killed because of his skin colour and religion. We went silent. How can someone say things like that?!
After that we needed some cheering up so we got an idea of skinny dipping. And since we are like we are, of course we made it! It was fun until it came the time to get up from the water, and there were Indian men on the beach. Wise idea girls! Afterwards we got this sarcastic comment by Steve: I thought that you said you've been more careful after that creepy night in Mumbai hostel, but girls, this isn't working.

We finally visited the Fort a few days ago, so we are ready to leave Diu. Not that we would really be ready, but we have to. Time is running. We've spent here a week now, but for sure this would be THE place to stay for a longer time. I guess that in Rajasthan we are still in Diu in our minds. Takes a while to get over this.:D
But we do have some plans, although it was un uncomfortable to make them. Next we are heading to Palitana, if Aino's condition allows it. Udaipur and Pushkar are waiting for us as well. And on 28th of November we are going to be in Kerala! Many things to see. And many local buses to use..

Now I must head to O'coqueiro to get some food before they close. I'm taking the risk of illness, just because they have so good food there. Wish me good luck! Haven't been really sick yet (knock the wood).
