I think I spent the day with Suriya and her friends and in the late afternoon bussed to Mollem to stay in the very touristy hotel. I had a few drinks with a bloke from Norway and his mate from Mission Vieho in Orange County (but who has Irish ancestry and works in an Irish pub in Oslo), then bedded down in the hotel's cheapskates' dorm. I hardly slept because I was bitten all night - there was no place to hang my mozzie net.

Mollem is a very busy place, full of trucks zooming along the main highway heading east out of central Goa into Karnataka.
