16th/17th day: Bangalore/End of jorney

After Goa we went to Bangalore to visit Amit. We decided (was my idea, so guitly guity) to take a night bus, from Goa, which should take 12 hours to get to Bangalore. Bus had beds, so we were supposed to sleep without problems. Bus had beds...we knew that...what we didn't know that he had a crazy driver too :DD The driver was driving as mad, so I had a feeling that the bus will fall down that very moment and we can't escape the catastrophy :D On the way we got a surprising sms from Amit, who were telling that he is in Mumbai now, gone for the interview and we will be staying at his friend's house (a very nice couple, Priit and Venka, whom we met at the wedding in Silvassa). So we were going to meet Amit, but he wasn't there haha Anyway, we spend two great days with our great hosts, we did some shopping, hang around and they really take care of us. Thanks guys!!!

So finally we were going home. Our plane from Bangalore arrived to Delhi with 3,5 hours delay so we almost missed our plane, but this time no Business class for us hahaha.

This was a really exciting journey. We discovered a country totally different from any place we ever have been. We met great people, got some tan, didn't get diarrhea, which is good, so in conclusion - Misson acomplished!!

Next stop - Costa Rica! :D

10th-15th Day: Goa


We finalized our trip around golden triangle and tired of sightseeing and shopping were anxious to get to the beach. After reaching Goa and driving to our beach, Palolem, we dropped our bags and went to check out the beach. The beach was wonderful! 35C, palms, warm water and pink sunset...

Walking down the beach, boys from the beach bars were offering us to sit and buy a drink from the bar. Every bar had sunbeds, tables and chairs, right on the sand. Juli asked: "How much is a sunbed for the whole day?" and the guy answered: "Its free, you just have to buy a drink from the bar, that's all". "How much is a beer", was Juli's next question - "30 rupees (0.50 euro)" the guy said, "and now it's happy hour, so you get two cocktails for 100 rupees". We chose the table, sat watching the red sunset and drinking our happy hour cocktails,...a waiter broght a candle and put at the table...and in this moment we realize, THIS IS FUCKING GREAT!!!! :D

Next days we were lying on the beach, drinking beers, swiming in a hot water and eating great food in our favourite bar "Big bananas".

We met a great couple, Piero and Manisha and hang out together for all 5 days we spent in Goa. For sure we will meet again and have some "mierditos" in the memory of Big bananas...WE MISS YOU GUYS!!!
