at Goa from BBC. |
| Goa is situated on the West
Coast of India. Goa used to be a Portuguese colony from 1510 till 1962 when the Indian Army invaded and annexed Goa. The former Portuguese colony of Goa is one of the most relaxed places in India.
In the seventies when all of India was full with European and American hippies,
Goa was really packed with them. Now most of the hippies have left, but new
travelers keep pouring in. More textual stuff
on Goa and you can have a
look at this slideshow from the net.

The weather on Apr 5 is beautiful and Martin
takes the opportunity to air his bed mattresses. Everything
ready to go. Just to stick it into the rucksack, Martin's favorite packing
gear. |

The bed needs cleaning to.
Airing the duvet and pillows helps. Martin wants to come home to a clean
hose this time after his dubious trip to Goa. |

First stop is the bus stop on the the road to
the railway station. The second stop is the railway station
itself for a train to Oslo. Cheap US $ 20.- for a two hour ride. |
