Day 599 - Back to beach bum business

On our way to the beach this morning we made our way along the sandy palm lined alleyways past old Portuguese villas, as Goa was once a Portuguese settlement. The zig-zagging route to the beach gave us a change from sun, surf and swimming Indians and eventually deposited us in the middle of the fishing part of town where millions of fish lie out to dry in the searing heat, and the life of a fishing family goes on like it has for centuries.

Feeling like we'd seen something for the day we settled in to the difficult task of absorbing the picture perfect palm lined beach scenery. We sipped and gobbled our way through the day, only tearing ourselves away for a swim or two - one Peter had to take after being shat on by a seagull!!!Watching the fully clothed Indian women in their gorgeous saris paddling in the surf is an interesting sight - and is a reminder why the nearly naked foreign women are the object of oogling Indian men.
