Hotel Nova Goa Panaji

... bars on thee balcony and a dripping tap, flaking yellow paint and a cold shower over the toilet. It was sufficient. <br>We had a quick shower and went out. We wanted to visit Old Goa and send a parcel, so we went to the post office, down the narrow streets underneath crumbling and mouldy walls, and then to the Bus station, the sun burning our necks, to board the first bus towards Old Goa. We stood, again, but with only a half hour ride taking us out next to the river and ...

... an incredibly interesting source of knowledge regarding the history of Goa over the last 1000 years.<br><br><br>At this point a break was needed and we chilled in the shade opposite St Francis Of Assisi Church and then headed for another walk around Old Goa, by this time we were pretty tired and hot so we grabbed a tuk-tuk back to Panjim. <br>The driver Sunil was ace and we have now arranged to leave Panjim early tomorrow (in his tuk-tuk ...

Arrived in Panaji/Panjim on the Early bus, first time since we arrived in Goa that we felt like we were in India real. The Town has a colonial Portuguese feel and area alongside a very Indian part to the town, the market being our particular highlight. This is the first place on our travels we have found that people love to be asked to pose for a photo, as long as they ...

... customary labyrynth of market stalls to find the square meter of tarmac needed to rest our bags. The terminus seems to have no system in place to enable us to find our bus easliy. Each bus has a conductor who hawks seats by yelling the destination repeatedly until the thing is full thus we're hustled onto our chariot bound for Mapsa where we will change again for Anjuna...our chose North Goan beach. The buses, like most things in India, have seen better days yet, they function and I ...

... breakfast and went to enquire about buses. found that buses to hampi leave at 7;30 at night, felt i still had some energy in me yet, and wanted to sea some new places in the short time i had left, so forgetting about my queasy journey i booked for my 3rd overnight bus in a row leaving that night.spent the day on the beach and in the sea, eating, and chatting to some swedes, french and english.took a motorbike out of there as the sun was going down, mark from diu ...

... I almost bought a silk hammock, but if I do that, I will never leave Goa. Yoga starts again tomorrow, it will be an intense week I think... The rest of the day is very mellow, the house is so nice, the patio is perfect for reading a good book, relaxing, drinking Darjeeling tea, and then every day as a little activity on top of the doing nothing part... It's great. Oh, and did I mention the weather? For January, I'd say it's pretty good!!!! I love it. I just got a new pair of ...

... to say. But the enthusiasm we initially found so charming and even enthralling starts to feel a bit unnateral after the 5th nightingale puts him in raptures. Raquel is clearly bored but is having fun taking the mickey out of little Maximo as Shebapoints out herons, sparrows, butterflies and damselflies, cashewtrees and lotusflowers. Towards the end of our 3 hour tour he tells me he has written a poem for the Dutchman. "The Dutchman has a smile His smile is metallic And shines a ...

Destination 96: km70'023 In Stil eines Tapetenwechsels habe ich mich von Arambol nach Vagator verschoben. Viele Traveller mit ihren eigenen Fahrzeugen haben sich hier bei bester Lage und Infrastruktur zusammengefunden. Dank dem ich mein Camping- Equiptment die ganze Reise mittransportiere, wird im Zelt geschlafen und dann und wann aus dem eigenen Kochtopf gegessen ...

... I get bored. I've met a procession of wonderful people...no, friends...here, and I know that I'll definitely be back. But it is time to get back on the road, and I risk becoming immovably becalmed if I remain here in Palolem too much longer. And the road goes ever on and on... So my pack is on my back, for almost the first time in two weeks, and Kerala awaits me. I only have 3 weeks left in India, and I'm going to head south ...
