Opp.Damodar Temple,Swatantra Path Goa, Goa, India
... took almost 2 hrs to reach Calangute from our hotel.<br>The route is Madgoan --> Panaji --> Calangute. You do not have to enter Panaji town. It was a nice ride. After we crossed Madgoan , I put on the helmet as we were going through the highway and it is mandatory (lesser concerned on safety - more to escape from Cops !!)<br>Panaji is around 40 Kms from Madgoan and it is the Highway No - NH17<br>Driving ...
Goa, Goa, India boraabhijit... and we only decided to go this way as all the boys (waiters etc) we know from the restaurant we use are going back home to their families in Darjeeling after the Goa season. it seemed like a good idea at the time.... We could have taken a much faster route changing at Calcutta but thought this would be much more fun with the lads... having a few doubts now, particularly Mike, as he read the temperatures in Orrissa (which we go through) were unusually high last week ...
Goa, India gillip... dusty red sands and colourful churches, monkeys attempt to crack coconuts and the cows wander the paths as they do the beaches. The poverty of Goa is only prevalent only inland, where women wash outside ragged palm leaf shacks and stack weighty pots on their heads. Men, on the other hand, engage in fumigating manual labour, or sit in circles chewing paan. The children are dressed in no ...
Goa, India fleurisima... look equally low key but manage to serve food from all corners of the world. So you have almost anything you might want here at your fingertips and at prices where you don't have to think too hard about getting it. Hence, modern Adams and Eves linger around for days upon lazy days, swimming, strolling on the beach, playing and eating. We ourselves got caught up in this cycle and we spent two weeks here, though we were ...
Goa, India tavini... there. We stopped for 30 seconds on the beach near the market and suddenly we were assaulted by 10 small Indian girls trying to become friends with us so that we could visit their stalls. We decided to check them out when we would pass them, but they hadn't anything really interesting, although Ingrid did buy one bracelet, and we bought a few clothes from other stalls. One of them was being run by two Nepalese guys ...
Anjuna, India sebzenorseWe have arrived in Palolem in Goa while we wait for chitty to arrive from Dubai on a container ship. Palolem is a beautiful sandy beach and is discribed as one of the best in Goa, Ten years ago there was nothing here apart from a few fishing boats, and a few cows, Now it is full of tourist beach huts which fill every available space, it is still a beautiful place and the locals are very friendly,The cows are still here and so are the fishing boats all ...
Goa, India npointing... we managed to escape without increasing the weight of our bags or getting any more tat for the top of the telly. *whilst this may not seem a good phrase to endear you to your customers- the sales technique was far superior to some... see "win a holiday" - Stand up for your skin colour! Of all the places we've been to, Goa must have the highest concentration of foreign tourists...yet we still stick out for our pasty shade of white skin and keep getting mistaken for ...
Panaji, India tallbird_lankey... I knew I wouldn't be able to stomach a whole plate full. This geezer was intense in his refusal, 'its not possible' he kept saying to me in that cold asiatic manner that chinese seem to adopt so well. When the food came I couldn't eat the plateful, had no intention to eat the plateful, left half and made a verbal point about the waste. I watched the one-dayers between West Indies and India in the Caribbean in the evenings and for some reason supported the Windies and ...
Benualim, India rgw...... must give them credit for that. It was housed in a restored haveli (palace) and it was cool to explore and see what rooms may have looked like way back when. The queens of India were pretty lucky chicks, that's for sure!!! The kings were even luckier as one king would have multiple queens!!! Our flight from Udaipur to Mumbai via Air India was safe (phew!) and oh so luxurious! Our one hour mid afternoon flight included a full hot meal, dessert, tea, and mints. All I could think of ...
