Goa, Feb 27, 2012.
It has been nice to take a good long break for a while. But now I start feeling that itch to get back on the road again. I have tried to book a train from Margao to Bombay but as of yet have been unable to get a confirmation. I am on waitlist. Now I plan to cycle back to Bombay instead. Probably leaving tomorrow morning.
It is a nice route along the Konkan coast, but I also realise that the hot parts will be even more hot now than 3 weeks ago. By late February winter is definitely over here and it is getting warmer. I expect it to take about ten days to Bombay and probably take a rest day about halfway up.
9 Bar poster Yesterday I rode over to Anjuna to meet up with Sussi, a friend from Goa in the 80's. Amazingly she still looks exactly the same as she did when she was 23. We had dinner together at Starco, a restaurant where another Swedish woman is married to the owner. So Starco is somewhat of a Swedish meeting spot in North Goa. We were about 8 Swedish there and 2-3 others, all old Goa hands.
Vagator Beach Resort has been flattened.
