Don’t you think I work too hard during this voyage?… So this will be just day at leisure. I jumped into the warm see in the morning before the waves got high. What a pleasure! Benaulim is still like escape from the crowds and noise of North Goa. There are few bars on the palm-fringed beach with rooms attached – they charge 200-300 rp per room. Do not go to “Furtado’s” – it is overpriced – just go along the beach and you will find a room or hut for youself. At “Furtado’s” where the road ends there are cheap food stalls so there is no need to buy the meals at the bars (bread roll – 3 rp, bananas for 2, eggs for 5 and my favourite papaya for 25). I have been before twice to the North of India. Now I can compare: the people in the Southern India are not as nasty as in the north – less beggars here. In general – people of the South are much nicer…
I took a beach walk to Colva to photograph there fishing boats and to connect to the internet (30 rp per hour).
In the late eveving the rickshaw will take me to the nearest station – I plan to take the train along the coast to the south…
