Travels: Goa

When I arrived in Goa I was really confused as to what to do. I had had a sleepless night on a comfortable overnight bus from Bangalore, and didn't know what to do. (Sleepless due to road conditions and driving method).

I had breakfast and bought a ticket to travel north, got on the bus and met a fellow traveller who said I shouldn't just leave Panjim immediately, as it was worth a few days. So I abandoned my 20c ticket and got off the bus.

Indeed he was right, Goa's little capital Panjim is a lovely spot. And carnival was scheduled for the weekend so I ended up staying 4 nights.

Highlights for me were visiting a Spice Plantation and being there for the fun of carnival. I will explain carnival with so photos some time.

After Panjim I headed to Agonda Beach. It's a lovely place. As I'm not really a beach person I planned to spend just 1 night there, but ended up staying for 3. Just relaxing, reading, swimming, walking, eating.

But, as they say... Goa isn't the real India.
