With Dave's stomach at long last being steady, we could make a split far from Palolem and head some place more vivacious, Anjuna. Evidently the best way to go around Goa, other than enlisted vehicles, is the nearby transport. We needed to get four transports, Palolem to Margao (60rs), Margao to Panjim (50rs), Panjim to Mapusa (15rs), then Mapusa to Anjuna (15rs). I've been to Anjuna before on my past excursion and it's the spot to be for a youngster in Goa.
It's one of the main spots where music keeps on playing after the 10PM commotion boycott. There's various clubs down the shoreline front, Shiva Valley toward the end of the shoreline (the most well known), and Nyex at the highest point of the shoreline.
We touched base on the eighth, having wanted to get together with Cam on ninth, however he got stuck in Varanasi then Mumbai! So we ruled against the Shiva Valley rave we'd gone the distance for (looking back unfortunately) so we could spend the cash one more night when Cam arrived.
So we chilled for a couple days until he arrived, and after that cooled some more...When he in the long run touched base on the eleventh we were at that point prepared to leave Goa. It's a pleasant spot to relax and party, yet it's excessively costly!.
On Friday (I think, I've forgotten about the days) we leased a few bikes for the day (300rs each) and went to look at some neighborhood shorelines and a fortress. Driving on Indian streets is so fun! I may make insane at home, yet that is the manner by which you're intended to drive here. From within a taxi or tuk-tuk it looks so perilous, however it's very simple. Honestly it wasn't the center of a truly bustling city, yet at the same time.
We saw a quite cool demolished stronghold sitting above Vagator shoreline, the perspective fairly ruined by a major resort!
Fortress Agueda was the following stop, a truly in place "stronghold". Truth be told it was to a greater degree a survey station neglecting the inlet with defenses, in any case it was truly cool and there was a decent view.
We kept running into inconvenience when we chose to set out toward Old Goa (frontier style structures and places of worship and so forth) by means of Panjim. Looking back it was inept to crash into a city without the required universal drivers permit, however when we enlisted them the person didn't check on the off chance that we had licenses. He took Cam's understudy card! So we were uninformed that it'd be an issue. At any rate we're driving over this extension, me and Cam are entirely a long ways ahead, so we get to the next side and draw over to sit tight for Dave...the issue was we'd simply unconsciously deliberately pulled over at a police check point. "Nish" (on channel 6) strolls over and requests that we get our licenses out, so we exhibit our UK/Aussie licenses to him. Clearly this doesn't hold up and he begins going ahead about going to court on Monday and taking the bicycles away for the night and so forth...
This continues for around 20 minutes, and we're simply sitting tight at the unavoidable cost we'd need to pay him to escape this. He requested 15,000rs! (£150) we didn't have that much, and we let him know so.
Nish then asks us the amount we have, we number up and Cam's conveying 6000rs (£60) so we give him that. Nish then requests an additional 1000rs! (£10) The brazen c*nt. We hack up. He then lets us know we're fine to proceed with the adventure to Old Goa, no issue. On the off chance that another cop gets us we need to let them know "Nish on channel 6 has them". When we touched base in Old Goa after that disaster there wasn't sufficient time to see any of it! Pleasant drive however.
We chose to go out that night, we went down to the nearby off permit sort spot to purchase two 750ml containers of 42.5% rum for 170rs!!! (about £1.70) franticness!
We drink these in the eatery before making a beeline for the shoreline. As you can figure we had a goodbye.
We spent the following day arranging our excursion to Andaman Islands (Google picture it!) which we'll reach through a 3-5 day watercraft from Chennai, ceasing off in two or three spots while in transit to Chennai. The following day we book a transport to Bijapur in Karnataka, our first stop. It's intended to be the "Agra of the south" (Agra is the place the Taj Mahal is), The second greatest vault working on the planet and heaps of sanctuaries/bastion and so on of times long past.
