Nice Goan

Our last week in India was spent in the chill zone of Goa (this is the type of lingo they use in the Lonely Planet). Stefan used to think that Goa was a city when he heard about it in his electro music days during the mid-nineties, but quickly learned that it is actually the smallest state in India. There are several towns that are slightly inland from the ocean, and that is where the majority of the Indians are. We spent a day or so exploring the biggest city known as Panjim (or Panaji), which has a Portuguese past and is also close to the abandoned Portuguese city of Old Goa which is little more than a collection of old churches nowadays.
We then headed off to Anjuna beach, one of many beaches in Goa, where we chillaxed for several days. Bernie got stung by a jellyfish our first time in the water, but it was pretty minor. We can highly recommend this beach of anyone is thinking of goan to Goa.
Our last day in Goa the surf was really big due to a tropical storm (05-A) in the Arabian Sea.


Before leaving India, we spent one more evening in crazy Mumbai before our flight to Seoul (connecting to Beijing) left at 4:35 am! We took a taxi to one of the beach areas called Juhu beach where we ate some Bhel Puri and cocunut water and drank a cold coffee.
