Relaxing in Goa


Goa is only a 50 minutes flight from Bangalore, so obviously we had to go there as soon as possible after Karina and the kids came to India.


We chose to go to Palolem beach which is the southernmost beach in Goa. It is known for its very laidback ambience and the lack of large 5 star hotels. On our way to our bungalows we met a couple of the local pigs;-)


Palolem is about 1 1/4 hours drive from the airport which means pretty remote. Naja and Laura probably are thinking what they are doing there?!?

Below a shot of the bungalows where we stayed.



Our bungalow had a nice hammock on the rooftop. Nice place to chill with a beer and the view of the Arabian Sea.



Naja chilling on the beach while her henna tattoo is drying up.



Laura just chilling;-)



It gets pretty hot in Goa during April. 35-40 degrees Celcius with a very high humidity. Next time we will probably try to avoid the 'hot season'. Karina had to work the tan though.



Burning sun and very deserted beach. The atmosphere is just so very different from the day-to-day India we meet everyday in Bangalore.



Small stall just next to our Bungalow. The boats were part of the package, where you could get a small piece of shade, if you had enough of the VERY hot and strong sun.



The view from the restaurant where we stayed. Guess you could learn to live with it?
