Four days in India in a completely different way - palm-beach-sea. A 10-minute walk from our accommodation - which was much cleaner this time and offered a lot of privacy - lies the beach and the Arabian Sea at our feet. Four days that allowed us to relax a lot and four days in which we experienced India in a completely different way. It's no wonder we call Goa the Russian Mallorca. It feels like everything here is designed for Russians - the shops, the tours, the restaurants, and the language. Many people approached us in Russian, even the Russians. It's packed with tourists, which could also be very exhausting, as we noticed mainly from the prices and from how rudely and brazenly the Indians treated us here. 'My friend...' please give me your money. Fortunately, after many discussions, we found an Indian who rented us a scooter according to Indian standards, which allowed us to take a trip to the beautiful Palolem Beach about 1 hour away in the south. The drive there alone was a dream in terms of scenery. When we arrived, we were offered various boat tours, but we didn't feel like it. However, when a captain lowered the price by more than half to take us with him, we agreed. And it turned out that we didn't regret it, because the ride was really fun and the highlight were dolphins swimming past our boat at close range.
We also enjoyed ourselves culinary and ate fresh fish several times right by the sea.
The days were very nice, even though we now continue to move south with sunburn pain.
