In that case PJ I shall wait until I get to Goa and try to find a copy there. I shall ask the little chap who sells books on the beach to try and find it for me, his copies are general pretty good.
If I can find it I shall post on here.

Cheers

Hi All,

Theres a film called 'Last Hippie Standing' which features an interview with Cleo Odzer and bits of film of Anjuna from the 70s. The whole film lasts for approx 45mins and you can watch it for free on the net.

I read somewhere that Cleo Odzer returned to Goa and died there around 2001 or 2002.

The film is definitely worth a butchers.

I have added the link below.

Noni,

Remy

Will wait for a 'noffi friday night before I answer

Thanks for the link, really enjoyed it.
Oh dear how things have changed......

Is there anyone out there who remembers the original Air India Jumbos of the 70s with the concertina toilet doors that you could'nt open from the inside without force or someone in the queue outside helping!!
Or those beyond awful bus journeys from Bombay!! (worse with a wet bottomed baby/toddler on the lap).

I do quite well ! And not so long ago either....i remember one particular trip i made from Bombay to Mapsua in 1990.The road just above Karwar was supposed to be resurfaced and the company doing it stripped all the tarmac from about 20 kilometres of road and then went conveniently bankrupt.The result was a dust storm of heroic proportions along this stretch of the road as lorries and buses all churned it up in the middle of the night.When you arrived in Mapsua at around 7am you looked like something from a science fiction film.Completely red, every thing luggage , you the bus.I remember once in the monsoon travelling back to Bombay and seeing mud geysers spurting up from the holes in the bus floor !One bus i caught had 8 punctures in the night and all the passengers had to get off because the jacks wouldnt work and then there were the Dabas along the roads.Road side cafs Indian style with tea so sweet you could stand a spoon in it !Do you remember the video buses ? Having to sit there listening to some caterwauling Bollywood starlet strangling a cat for 14 hours...even the Indian passengers would go mad after around 8 hours of this torture.The conductors loved it though

Yes I well remember the video buses, with the drivers changing the videos while driving, even changing drivers while still driving on one occasion, with some clever footwork on the pedals.
It must have been early 90s when myself and a daughter took a 'new' sleeper bus from Panjim to Pune, it looked wonderful, compartments with 2 floor beds and a bunk. The reality was different, on a floor bed over a wheel!! Never again ever.

The sleeper buses were something else.Travelling up to Bombay on Paulis bus I was sat on in the middle of the night by a large lady weighing at least 16 stone! I nearly died of suffocation before she realised she was on the wrong shelf. cant call them sleeping berths because in reality they were shelves. I used to like the Yogic flying as you elevated off your shelf when the bus hit a particularly big pothole....

Paulo Travel super deluxe luxury video bus was definately the way to go in the 90`s remember getting dropped off in Bombay at silly o`clock in the morning and the taxi driver trying to charge me 600 rps to take me to Colaba, I almost dragged him from the taxi and into the Causeway police station, he took 150 rps, still too much .... I was tired

I arrived into Bombay the day the riots kicked off, must have been Nov 91 or 92 no buses, no taxi, sat in the airport till light, one taxi came along and asked silly money to get to Colaba had no choice. Stayed in whalleys guest house, don;t think it exists any more.
What a ride from the airport, Bombay looked so bad, After a few days in Colaba area no trains running so got a clapped out bus which was a hell of a ride down to Goa 17 hours, all the back seat flew off and we could see the bare road beneath us. never slept a wink.
Got to Goa sheer bliss.... what riots, fell in love with the place......
