We have been in Palolem for two days now and are really enjoying the continued chill out. The beach here is in a beautiful cove with gorgeous fine sand and lots of huts and bars along the front. However it is not as quiet as we first thought. However we have heard that in Agonda, at the North of Palolem, there is a beautiful, untouched beach and there we plan to head to next. There is also Patnem to the south for people heading that way. As for being here, a big highlight is the 'Buy One, Get One Free' cocktails which are going down a bit too easily.
This morning we tried out first Indian breakfast: parantha with curd and pickle. Needless to say, it was absolutely delicious and great to have something a little different. In fact the food is all really great here, even if we are struggling to beat the fantastic curry and naan we sampled in Mumbai. The local Goan food is lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed the Goan Lentil stew - Yum Scrum!
We are currently still trying to figure out our next step beyond Goa. After looking at flights to Kolkata, we've found them to be very expensive, and the trains there are all booked up for the next few months. It is likely that we may now make shorter journeys to slowly work our way north. The Lonely Planet Guide couldn't be more valuable!
