Today I took the moped to Old Goa. Old Goa is about 50km from the beach that I am staying at. Obviously I got lost on the way though! Eventually getting to Old Goa, I realized that it was nothing like I thought it would be. I thought it would be a little more ‘lived in’, butContinueContinue reading “India: Sightseeing Goa, Day 5”

India: Sightseeing Goa, Day 4
Today I rented a moped…I went really far! I started by visiting a small Vintage car Museum in a little village called Ashveck. It has all sorts of old cars that have been lovingly restored by the owner over the years. After the museum I visited some beaches further up along the coast from whereContinueContinue reading “India: Sightseeing Goa, Day 4”
India: Sightseeing Goa, Day 3
I started the day on a low note, pulling off half of my blister by accident as i tended to the bandage/plaster thing that i had placed over it so that it did not pop in the night. Following my mini freak out, I packed up my things and headed for the bus station in Chaudi. I got straight ontoContinueContinue reading “India: Sightseeing Goa, Day 3”
India: Sightseeing Goa, Day 2
It has been very overcast here today. I chose to stay at Patnem Beach for the morning and then venture out on the moped for the afternoon. I went to Agonda Beach where I managed to find an abandoned hotel! The story goes that it was to be the biggest and poshest 7* hotel in the South of Goa,ContinueContinue reading “India: Sightseeing Goa, Day 2”
India: Sightseeing Goa, Day 1
Today I first took an Auto-Rickshaw into Palolem in order to pick up a moped, before doing so I tried out the Bruschetta in one of the many eateries along the road leading up to the main beach. It was really lovely, quite spicy and delicious! Once I left Palolem I drove around for a fair few kilometres tryingContinueContinue reading “India: Sightseeing Goa, Day 1”
India: Patnem Beach
Getting to a new place in the dark is never brilliant, and I arrived in Palolem at 5.30am, so it was still dark. I took an Auto-Rickshaw to the beach in hopes of finding a lovely hut to rent. As it was still pitch black when I got there, I couldn’t really do much but wander aboutContinueContinue reading “India: Patnem Beach”
India: Hampi, Day 3
As I no longer have the motorbike I thought that I would walk over to the main Bazaar area and see if I could go into the main temple: The Virupaksha Temple. I walked down to the river crossing hoping that I wouldn’t have to get a coracle again, thankfully it was a proper motor boat this time, completeContinueContinue reading “India: Hampi, Day 3”
India: Hampi, Day 2
I began the day with a healthy breakfast of cornflakes. I tried to ask for half a bowl, as I have been wasting a lot of cornflakes lately, but I don’t think that the man understood what it is that I wanted. The cornflakes came, just in a bigger bowl, so that it looked likeContinueContinue reading “India: Hampi, Day 2”
India: Hampi, Day 1
After getting up nice and early to check out of the Guest House and into another, I had to wait for AGES to get the room! It turns out that the people currently in it were not aware that the checkout time was 10.00am…so I sat waiting whilst I had breakfast and they checked out.ContinueContinue reading “India: Hampi, Day 1”
India: Travelling to Hampi
Waking up to what can only be described as many people battering the hell out of an iron pot with hammers; I surfaced and walked to the bus station, hoping to catch one to Hampi. On the way I was harassed by a wide variety of different auto-rickshaw drivers. They have the ‘Minidor’ variety hereContinueContinue reading “India: Travelling to Hampi”
