Hotel Fidalgo Pride Of Goa Panaji

... begging for money. <br>We stood in a queue for about ten minutes and boarded the next bus to Panaji, this time not so crowded and direct, and arrived in this little town bus station, where all the different makes and colours of buses all from many different companies rolled in an out in a great dance of chaotic diesel smoke and rumbling roar. We got off the bus to a very hot, sunny day and started walking out of the station, towards what we assumed was town and the ...

... you all with the finer details of why, who &amp; where in this blog post, Google is your friend and all that!<br><br><br>We then looped round to St Catherine's Chapel, clearly very old (around 16th century) and not much inside bar bats, LOTS of bats - which i thought was pretty cool. Not sure if we've seen bats before and that close-up either.<br>There is a museum to the side of this church imaginatively entitled 'The Archeological ...

... me nejvic zaujalo, byl hezkej plakat kterej zval vsechny na doslova: "Organic Party". Kdyz sem se tam vratil vodpoledne to vyfotit, uz bylo po party a plakat se asi sam rozpustil. Maj tam na zemi rakosovy rohoze a ty trojuhelnikovy, tvrdy polstare co sme videli v Thajsku. Tam se povalujou strasne hubeny lidi a vazne rozmlouvaj. Kdyz sem si tam chtel taky lehnout a rozmlovat, vsichni se vodeme vodvratili. Asi sem nevyzaroval tu spravnou karmu po osmi ...

... they are visited by a lot of tourists meant that they didnt look twice at too extremely white people walking down the street. A pleasant change from Mumbai! Took a walk around the city and saw the major sites. On one of our days in Panjim we took a bus to nearby Old Goa, a city that once rivalled Lisbon and London in terms of size and ...

after the overnight bus, which was pretty bloody terrible, my seat wouldn't recline, so i had the guy in front of me pretty much on my lap, the guy next to me with his legs spread wide apart (he leaned over me and hawked and spat out the window, which i quickly put an end to) and his elbows jutting into me, and at about midnight, my stomach began to turn, at the next break i got out and was retching, got back on the bus, 2 minutes underway and i was being sick out ...

... while a group of people dressed as angels and demons danced. Everyone walked on the beach following them. At the end, the same group as yesterday did a short performance and then people just started dancing everywhere! A lot more action and energy than the official parade I must say. I was quite happy to have picked this beach! Later on I sat at a restaurant to hear some foreigners play music, all for free! Great ...

Where should I start.... Well, the yoga here is AMAZING! So different to do yoga in the heat... My body loves it anyway. And since yesterday was a day off, it was time to go see the beach. AMAZING beach, some areas are super crowded but others are much much better. Walking on the sand, being offered 10 necklaces for 200 rupies, "best morning price ma'am". It's fun. I love it. Then Iain taught me a nice river where we covered ourselves with clay. Waw, Amazing how the skin gets soft after ...

... curiousity. Wednesday, September 26th Oh my god, Oh my god, OH MY GOD!!! Raquel, come here quickly! RAQUEL COME NOW! OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!! Sheba is pointing at a crow. It turns out to be a nightingale. 'NIGHTINGALE.

... and enjoy the sea and social scene but we did hire motorbikes on a couple of occasions to see the rest of the Goan coast, however, we quickly realised we were at the best spot so looked no further. Our time in Palolem was just what we were looking for after 10 months on the road: quiet beach, great company and wonderful food. Meeting Ian, being reunited with Elizabeth and having ...

... beer, a restaurant on the river and bargains to be had. Pretty much every day was spent on the beach and in the Rovers Return with fantastics food and great company. The last night of the carnival was on the beach with fireworks and brilliant bands. After 10 days of chillin we were ready to move on and take in some more sight seeing. We booked the over night bus to Hampi knowing we will one day return to Goa! To be continued. . . . .
