After a crazy journey, I really couldn’t have picked a better place than to arrive in Goa. I met up with Marisa who was already staying at one of the four star hotels Goa offers and we headed up to Anjuna to be meet up with some other gappers and hit the beach. Oh man, we chilled on the beach along side a lot of dogs and an occasional cow. We then shopped at the Wednesday’s flea market before we moved on to Arambol.

There, we found a beautiful beach front with tree huts for us to stay in, this I fell in love with. I could hear the sea in my room at night and in the morning all I had to do was stumble onto the beach. It’s what I considered paradise. What a perfect way to unwind and relax. We spent our time as total beach bums, eating good food, lying on the beach, hanging around awesome bonfires and singing along with the other folks there. I now understand why the hippy way of life is appealing.

My sister joined Marisa and I on the 3rd and we shared some of our India experiences with her. We spent two more days at Arambol before we moved down to Mandrem beach. We stayed in a gorgeous beach hut and the beach was superb. There was no one around, I guess do to the monsoon season beginning to start, everything was closing up, so we decided to head back up to Arambol.

Planning our travel around India was pretty stressful because we planned to leave Goa on the 10th, but the faiths weren’t in our favor, there were no seats on the train, they were booked full. So we just had to extend our stay in Goa! Not a tragedy really and it all worked out well. We finally made it out of Goa on the 13th and headed to Kerala. It was really sad to leave the sea and sand, but I was good to be heading back home too.
