Disaster Strikes!!!!!!

Just as we were patting ourselves on the backs for not losing anything important and not missing any trains or buses we woke up yesterday morning at 7, our train was at 9.50 and we decided to stay roughly an hour away from the train station especially not to miss it. Anyway as we were getting ready Sophie asked in passing if I had my passport just out of our constant paranoia, and then we remembered we hadn't got it back last time we changed money. So we ran out the hotel hailed down a taxi and explained we had to go back to our last resort 40km away,(in India 40km can take hours if there are very slow trucks and cows in the way) At this point we knew all the trains are booked out for weeks from Goa to Mumbai and we probably have to get about 10 local buses maybe having to stand crushed into someones armpit for hours.
The taxi drivers soothing Muzack of various eighties hits added to the atmosphere as we flew through the roads, and eventually we got the passport and made the train with ten minutes to spare,
Its remarkable this has only happened once so far but I'm very happy it worked out ok as we are having fun exploring Mumbai, its far from the hell hole made out by people and they even have Christmas trees to make us feel at home.
Now we are now just killing time before we go on an opentop bus tour.
Lots of Love Paulie xxxxxxxxx
