Oh Beautiful Goa

I guess you could say that 52 hours of travelling have been worth it. We managed to get to Palolem beach in south Goa at about noon today. All I can really say is, "Wow." This place is incredible. There are a lot of tourists, but it is no where near busy. We ate baracuda tikka for lunch and dinner may feature shark tikka or lobster.

The line of the day was this: "I'm sorry, sir, but this fish has already been booked." It became immediately clear that you have to book big fish beforehand, otherwise you might not get the giant red snapper you wanted.

Accomodation-wise, we are staying in a hut suspended about 10 feet off the ground. And, believe it or not, AIESEC trainees were just leaving the hut when we arrived. Apparently we are everywhere....

And then you have the sunsets. Life is good.

So I hope you are working on your Baywatch-look now, Mitch? :)
Ah, more good news! We could manage to have bread in the morning the whole week! Believe it or not! Sometimes we even had 4 (yes! in words FOUR!) packs of bread. Incredible! It was only today that our supply chain broke and we didn't have any bread left for the morning eggs. We'll see what the next week brings. :)
I think Richie is missing you badly, he's watching out for you every morning, and nobody calls him Sir anymore. Poor Richie. At least he had the fun of his life on Diwali, dancing and jeering with 20 sparklers and one cracker in his hand! Too bad he didn't realize the cracker was lit by the sparklers... fortunately nothing serious happened.

P.s.:
Pleeeease, I want more photos of Goa! PHOTOS! PHOTOS! PHOTOS! :)
