Neither Sam nor I slept well the night before. I was in a lot of pain in my ribs and there was a huge Indian man in our room who snores louder than anyone I had ever heard before. For that reason, we slept in for a while this morning and it was difficult to get up up. We wolfed down breakfast quickly before it finished and decided to stay in Palolem for a little while longer. We tried to book another night in our dorm but it was fully booked so we booked into a double room which turned out to be a blessing as it was only 100rupees more and nice to have our own space away from the snoring giant. 

We didn’t do too much this day and the lack of sleep got us feeling a bit under the weather. We had lunch on the beach and came back to our new air conditioned room of luxury and had a long nap. We decided that the next day we would head out and explore. 
The hostel manager had planned to give out free beer to everyone because the hostel was full (a rare thing during low season) so I left Sam resting in bed to go meet some more people. We drank a few beers on the balcony and headed out together around 20 of us all from Europe. 
We headed to a nice restaurant which sold cheese, not uncommon in India but usually it is dried up cottage cheese or paneer. This was good French, Swiss, Greek and British cheese and we all relished in it, particularly the French girl with us. 
I headed back and climbed into bed feeling exhausted.
