A new chapter in traveladventures: India... After arriving a week ago in Mumbai, I was meeting up with Tisbeth, my travbuddy from Venezuela. I will visit Mumbai at the end of my stay, so far have only seen Mumbai by night, trying to understand why on earth they have traffic lights in this city???? The taxi who took me to our meeting point in the centre, ignored them all: green, yellow and red. And his contribution for saving the planet is just not to turn on his headlights... More about Mumbai in a few weeks!
The next morning we took the train heading south, to the district of Goa. The pictures say more then I can describe. The train took us 2 hours more and we arrived in Anjuna late in the evening. Anjuna is you could say, still a place where the hippies like to get together and on top of that, you have the regular tourists, who come look at the hippies! On wednesdays there is the famous fleemarket, where you can spend your whole day, trying to avoid to get scammed and get the best price... Not always so easy, but a good laugh worth! Our next stop in Goa, was Panaji/Panjim, where we stayed for two nights. First day in the city itself, which has so many Mediterenean influences, which can be seen in the beautifull houses and churches. The next day, we took a "chicken"bus to Ponda, where we visited a spicegarden, and on our way back to Panaji, we took a break to visit Velho Goa/Old Goa. Yesterday morning we took the first bus to Palolem, all the way in the south of Goa. We rented a beachhut instead of a regular hostel, verynice to wake up straight at the beach... India is a beautifull country, which had to "grow" on me. So very different, but really nice!!
