The first day was quite tiring, so the second one was a lot less active and involved only one long ride south, to Palolem.
Hi guys,

One of the bigger churches I saw on the way to Palolem. As you'll see on some pictures later, there's a lot of European (Portugese) inspired architecture. |
|
The only detour we made was to find the most famous Goan restaurant, Martin's Corner. |
|
|
We started with shrimp balchao
|
and roasted ox tongues, |
|
followed by lamb and kingfish in gravies. |
|
The place feeds the biggest Bollywood actors and they always take pics with that sign, surrounded by Martin's staff. Well, I'm not a bollywood star (yet), so I only got to have the sign in this one. |
|
Unfortunately there are plenty of huge properties, beautiful in the past, but now totally unkept. If, however, it's a new or renovated one, it's really gonna stand out - all the colours of the rainbow! |
|
Already in peaceful Palolem. |
|
Indian Baywatch, almost like Mitchell "Mitch" Buchannon. Don't you feel safer already? |
|
"You wanna look at my things? Pretty things, good price. You make good business" (Oh, how that reminded me of Bali!) |
|
Ah, serenity... |
|
Three rocks and a rock star! |
|
By this time my camera had already been dying. Somehow though, the battery understood that those moments had to be captured and allowed me to take one picture every 4-5 minutes. Thank you baby! |
|
Dining after sunset |
|
And what dining it was - shrimp curry with rice and gralic butter calamari (delicious!) with tandoori nan |
|
I somehow imagined Goa as a crazy party place, but nothing of that sort. The only party-like event going on was a live band at the end of the beach. Luckily, good music and a hilarious frontman! However, the cops still shut them up, so to speak, at round 10 pm. |
|
I ended the evening lying by the fire and gazing at the stars. |
