Another gorgeous day in paradise. This one got off to a really special start for all of us. I went to a lovely yoga class in a beautiful White and gold space shaded by the palm trees. After a very relaxing couple of hours, I returned to the others just in time to watch Freya, Fergus and Hamish swimming about ten metres away from a pair of dolphins. It was absolutely amazing. I've seen dolphins in Goa lots of times but always from a distance. To have them come so close to the shore is really unusual. It was truly awesome. And for Martha, the experience was equally brilliant. My eyes never left the sea for over fifteen minutes, giving her the perfect opportunity to plough through half a packet of Hide and Seeks (her favourite Indian biscuits).
I feel as though we've entered yet another phase. No one asks for the iPad, the DS or any other gadget. We are all just content to watch the ocean and our fellow beach dwellers.
This morning I lay in bed with Gus for ages after we had woken up. We lay cuddling, talking and listening to the mighty sound of the waves crashing on the beach. If we'd been at home, he'd have gone straight downstairs to watch tv or play on the wii.
Everything about our lives here is so simple. We over complicate things back home, always too busy, doing too many things. Life here is so free and easy. The only thing we have to do each day is put on suncream.
