Not to shabby of a timeline to get my India photos up here to share! Well done, Stephanie, well done.
A small collection to buzz through here...
after hours of flying, we land in Goa
with taxi windows down we take in our first breaths of Indian air on our way to Afonso House
Chapel of St Sebastian in the Fontainhas hood of Panjim
down the street from our guest house
friends who love and live for tea
quick stroll around the neighbourhood
we accidentally take a 5 hour nap and wake up to darkness, just in time to find dinner
headed south to Agonda Beach for a day trip
the drive was 1.5 hours and i was having a hard time breathing in all the pollution
Agonda Beach
Drove my first scooter about 30 minutes further south to take a peek at the recommended Palolem Beach
much busier and less quiet, happy that we booked our place in Agonda for the night
Our sweet little hut for the night at Agonda White Sand
early morning on the beach with the cows
this beach was so beautiful, I would absolutely recommend visiting Agonda
back in Panaji for one last night
Catholic shrines on every corner
Spice Farm on our way up North to Mandrem to meet the wedding party
henna from shopkeeper Kumari in Agonda
Feni
Native to Goa, India, this spirit is distilled from the Cashew Fruit
Basilica of Bom Jesus
St Francis Xavier has been in his coffin here since the 1500's
...or so they say....
Riva Beach Resort, Mandrem
after a day of sight-seeing and a lot of driving, we arrive in North Goa
group walk to the market
the beautiful bride and groom
fireworks and lantern releasing
i decided to not bring my camera along on what ended up being my favourite day in Goa
perhaps the universe meant for me to savour it instead of attempt to capture it
