Goa, India


The train ride took about 16hrs plus another 1 hr taxi ride to the Intercontinental Resort. In the morning we went to the breakfast buffet at the hotel. The hotel is very nice and has a private golf course, beach and a bunch of other amenities. After breakfast we relaxed on the beach for a swim. Later in the afternoon my brother and I rented motorcycles and cruised to Palolem beach. The beach was amazing. It was lined with all sorts of restaurants, beach huts. We walked along the beach for a while then cruised back and picked up Pa then went to a restaurant on the beach and ordered a wood stove pizza and watched the sunset. After we went back to the hotel and relaxed int the spa. Ben and I decided to cruise back to the Palolem to use the internet cafe. It wrote to my friends back home and called my friend Matt who is in Mongolia with skype. We met a guy from Israel who bought a Royal Enfeild and cruised around India for 5 months. As we started on our way back Ben realized he had a flat tire. We couldn't find a pump so we eneded up leaving the bike on the beach.

Well so far India's pretty amazing. Goa is beautiful and so different from any place I've been. We are staying one more night then heading further south. Ben and I are thinking about coming back to Palolem and staying there a few more days then catching a plane to Agra then trying to get into Nepal.
