India - Goa

Goa

We got to Goa late at night and settled into our rooms, The maid and I took one room, Cici and Happy the other.

After morning exercises we headed for breakfast, a pretty mediocre " continental breakfast" unpalatable for Happy and Cici who just pushed it around their plates.

After breakfast we headed to the beach nearby, well it took about 5 seconds to figure out that even a bikini alone will bring you all sorts of unwanted attention, comments, leers and hoards of men sporting "hard on's", this seems especially the case for girls without male accompaniment. So it was cover up time in public at least.

The food at the hotel was intolerable for Cici and Happy, so we decided to move out, after consulting a travel agent we rented a villa, with a pool and a high wall surrounding it so we could have some privacy and cook our own food as required.

Goa's certainly a unique place, packed full of tourists (from mainly Europe and India) and a startling contrast between the tourist areas and the slums, take a wrong turn here and you'll soon be a bad place.
So we stuck to the tourist areas, doing the tourist things which was just fine with me, although I do like local contact better. The LGBT scene was disappointing, mostly gay not Lesbian and very Euro orientated.

As Happy speaks very little English and Cici not much either, we spoke mostly in Putonghua ( mandarin) so most tourists just ignored us in that oh so European way, a snide look and turning of their backs, they even did so on the beach with their chairs, LOL.
Still we did manage to find a empty stretch of beach one day and had great fun there.

 And being nudist beach girls we were happy....


We were actually really enjoying the time just the four of us, spending quality time together, bonding more, happy just in each others company.
I don't know if only lesbians can have this kind of tight bond together as we share our hearts, minds and a common life identity. 
Although lovers (FWB) with others it has become clearer and clearer to me, that it me and the maid that are a couple.

Certainly not a traditional lesbian couple by currently accepted western lesbian or feminists values or theories though, we live a little outside that middle class box, a box made of glass, I would say and built on foundations that cannot stand in the "real world" of most women world wide.

India certainly makes you think......
