... przez dlugie godziny. Kostiumy byly tak roznobarwne, tak wesole i pelne zycia, ze mielismy chec razem z nimi bawic sie na ulicy. Najlepsze 'przebranie' zostanie ocenione i nagrodzone przez juryJ Pierwsza nagrode w jednej z kategorii dostal Ravana ze swoim dworem - ten facet z kilkoma glowami. Przesylam rowniez zdjecia z Old Goa, ktore ze swoim zespolem kosciolow, klasztorow, katedr przypomina bardziej Wenecje (ktora zdumiala ...

26th December 2008 Hotel Sea Pearl, Colva Beach, Goa, India Sun's down and it's perfect Arambol - Mapusa - Panjim - Margoa - Colva (80kms) Yesterday was Christmas Day. We started the day with a swim then it was lunch with Neesha, Jack, Danielle and Nisander (I have no idea if I have this right or not - a lovely tall German giant!). Ruby, Constantino's (the proprietor of God's Gift) wife cooked us traditional Goan pork curry ...

... cheap, more adventurous backpackers and by how much. It's kind of like the succession stages of a forest: the primary stage is backpackers exploring new territory but then once infrastructure builds up enough, the secondary stage package tourists move in and out-crowd the backpackers! Still, even with it's problems, Goa was worth going to.

I was about to leave Goa for Gokarna when this Juggler's festival started. I tried going one day to check it out and it was so much fun ...

... behind the head but it was huge and put up a real fight, it pulled me all over the place until I finally managed to grab onto a rock with my free hand and pull myself up. Once out of the water I had to climb up the speed rock which was not ideal. The fish put up even more of a fight and I thought he was going to wriggle loose and escape until I managed to grab it by the gills and pin it while I got my knife out. Even after I put my knife ...

... ca se porte ... Alors que la soiree s'annoncait tres bonne (oui on avait trouve des pizzas aux pepperonis), petite surprise du samedi soir, 20h30, Amelie et moi meme sommes "conviees" a venir travailler le dimanche ... autant dire que nous etions ravies d'ecourter notre week end, les escargots ne pouvaient pas attendre le lundi, question de maree basse.

... any of us!) and several cups of coffee later with its manager (whom we have come to know pretty well by now), met up with the rest of my friends, who had finally made it in, after several stops on the road to accommodate someone who just couldn't keep it all in! Every hour was a winding road alright for them! So if you have motion sickness, please stay away from the road trip. A Bombay-Goa flight takes just about an hour and depending on time of travel, can cost ...

... 5 feet off the property and walking in the sand...when at least 10 local women peddling their **** are on you in an instant! And they are persistent and have a comeback for every thing you might say to blow them off. Oh well...part of the charm of India. We captured a few pic's of the sunset and visited a beach shack just outside the hotel entrance. This beach shack would become our home away from home for the next three ...

Wow, the picturesque beaches, warm sunny weather, Swiss Family Robinson beach cottages...couldn't ask for a better way to forget the last few days and finish off my time in India. We had 5 glorious days in Goa and had planned to do a lot, but once there we decided the beach was all we really wanted. Our first day and a half we spent in Panaji, central part of Goa. Nataniel is from Mozambique, which is a Portuguese ...
