Up a river somewhere

Don’t be goin’ to Goa at Christmas… the place is packed, teaming with tourists. Unless… you go up a river somewhere. We found a beautiful restored old Goan house up a river, on an island, in a village, at the end of the lane. Tranquillity.

Audrey jumped off just after this photo and opted to ride with Nick and I. Despite the worry on Lucinda's face, we had a gorgeous ride through the Goan countryside.

With two motorbikes we took the family of five to a local waterpark.
