Palm Fringed Beaches and White-Washed Churches




Anjuna Beach, Goa, India

Our one last trip before the monsoon hit India this year. Bloody hot in Goa, coz it was the peak of summer, right before the monsoon. The bad news was that parts of Goa wore a semi-deserted look, the foreign tourists had more or less evaporated, (the urban beaches, where most locals favour, were still full of locals), breakfast was impossible to find as most restaurants including hotel kitchens were closed in the morning (unlike peak season), and the famous Wednesday Flea Market and the Saturday Night Market in Anjuna were closed for the season. The good news was that hotels were clamouring for guests, hence cheaper, and the beaches were not as crowded. Many of the hotels had actually closed down in preparation for the rainy season, some were removing curtains and linens to store for the next tourist season, so there you have it – our little Goan adventure.
