India
Escape from your fellow British two weekers.
Usurp those tranced-out-hippie-travellaaahhs.
Swap all this for a life (or at least a day) on the open road.
Rent a motorbike and off you go.
An opportunity to see the other Goa; unspoilt inland villages, white washed Portuguese churches, tucked away coastal communities. The India that exists just a few kilometers away from your hotel. And all this can be yours for less than the price of a one day travelcard on the tube!
Warning. The roads in India can be insane. With holy cows and random rickshaws as your fellow traffic, insurance is a good idea. But half the fun is the virtually insanity, methinks. And at least they drive on the same side of the road as the UK.
You can find sooters, motorbikes etc all over Goa. Ask at your hotel or around town. Prices range from 150rs per day for a Honda Kinetic scooter, to 600rs for a 500cc Royal Enfield Bullet
