Diu

Pictureless again (I'll put some up asap), but Diu has been a bit of a revalation in terms of the peace and quiet. Compared to everywhere else we've been so far it's almost silent, with cheap beer, cheap food and cheap rooms to stay in.

The bus journey here was quite funny - either the roads were bumpy or the bus was lacking any suspension - we both took off a few times when we hit bumps! But we managed to get a bit of sleep and arrived here at 8 in the morning. We've looked around the huge fort on the end of the island and we've even got over our moped issues from Bali. We hired one yesterday and managed to get all around the island, although I wouldn't say that I was entirely comfortable when negotiating the narrow streets (I drove)...the main problem being that you can't second guess what movements a cow or a goat will make, so together with other traffic it can be quite tricky.

We made it around the island without incident seeing the various beaches and a small fishing town where we gave one school kid a pen and he came back with more kids to get some more! They wouldn't believe that we didn't have more pens in our bags!

All being well we're moving again tomorrow...can't remember the place but Michelle has it all under contol and I know that the bus leaves at 6am...
