Arrived.

It feels like a dream to be back here in India .

First of all, the warm climate that greets me when I get out of the plane. Outside the airport, the memory of loud India again, with the cars honking and the many people streaming in. Luckily Munna, my trusted taxi driver, found me because I had forgotten to arrange an exact meeting point with him. After a short walk to the car, we head south for 1.5 hours. I'm exhausted from the flight, but the bright colors of India keep me awake.

On the way to Canacona, Munna accompanies me to a Sim Card shop at my request. That actually wasn't the best solution, as I arrived here in such a "German" way and went into a local shop with my elegant black handbag. They wanted 2000 Ruppees (20 euros) from me for a SIM card (without data). Then first arrive at Patnem Beach and look for a solution for the SIM card later... :-D

As we drive into Palolem my heart starts to skip. The many well-known shops, restaurants, the cows on the street, the palm trees... I lived here for two months last year and many memories are brought back.

This time my accommodation is at Patnem Beach. My beach hut is minimalist and only has the essentials, but what more do I need other than a bed, toilet and shower and the sea 50 meters away?! It is like a dream...

Later I meet Hitesh again. We spend a romantic evening in the Beach Restaurant on the beach with a Papaya Pineapple Banana Smoothie and later there are fireworks. Well if this isn't paradise on earth?!

Incredibly grateful...
