The weekend after we returned from the UK (the first weekend in Octobert) a group of about ten of us went to the island of Diu for a couple of days. Some of the roads were alright but some were not . . . so it felt like a nine hour drive each way on a 'off road' driving course!! When we got there the hotel was really lovely as you can see. The island of Diu used to belong to the Portuguese and although still very Indian is also a little bit different. We explored a little bit on our first evening there and had dinner in an open air first floor restaurant overlooking the sea. Unfortunately, Gavin got food poisoning and so we were obliged to stay an extra day and return with Peter Steeb the day after everyone else. But the troubles only lasted twenty four hours and as soon as the dehydration had been taken care of with a large injection of who knows what by a local doctor all was well.
