Last night marked the last night of our camping experience. We slept in a bit (yay!) and did our final packing of the car so we could return it. Before leaving the campground we tried to use their internet but in addition to being way overpriced it kept loosing our connection so we didn't get much done. It did stay up long enough for me to read some great news from Kristie though!! Congrats guys!!!!!
We stopped downtown to do some browsing of the local art galleries before heading back to Britz to drop off the car. When we were in the last gallery it started pouring outside - it seems wet season has arrived!
After dropping off a car we took a cab to the airport. On the way we passed the road we had taken last night to get to our campsite. It was hard to spot the road because where it used to be a paved road with dirt on both sides, it was now under a thick layer of flowing water. The riverbed goes right through the road, however the river so seldomly has water in it that they didn't bother to build a bridge over it.
We had a lot of waiting to do at the airport and I finished my last book when we were in Goa. I spent an hour perusing the bookshop before buying The Group by Mary McCarthy, which had a glowing recommendation from Candace Bushnell. It's kind of like Sex and the City set in the 30s. So far, so good!
The flight was somewhere between 1-2 hours, and they served us a warm meal (Canadian airlines are going to feel pretty ghetto after all this traveling!) We got checked in to our hostel - Travellers Oasis - and went for a quick walk downtown to have a look at the sights and grab some dinner. We've been told it's been really wet and rainy the last few weeks but it's started to clear up and we can expect good weather during our stay. Score!
