22 km
I had some thoughts of cycling on the beach, at least down to Morjim, but after a long walk along those beaches yesterday morning I gave up that idea. For one thing i would have had to go very early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the high tide. And then there are also two streams to cross. It is no big deal walking through the streams but I would not feel comfortable taking my bike through.
So I cycled the road. It is very nice cycling in Goa. Roads are quite small and there is often good shade. And it is very beautiful.
My fav place to stay in Vagator was full so I had to take a bad room elsewhere for one night. Then I could finally move in to Sunita GH. I got the same room I had here previously. It is not very large but I like it. Everything is clean, there is a good bathroom and a small verandah. When I unpacked all my stuff, actually for the first time on this trip, put my things on shelfs, plugged in the loudspeakers to my computer and played some Billy Holiday music while stringing up my hammock on the verandah, I could literally feel my shoulders drop, and that I was home.
I have already cycled further than I originally planned for this trip. Still I may go yet a bit further, down to Gokarna for a week or so. We'll see.
