DAY 96 – PALOLEM
Rented some scooters but it was all to much like work for me so I gave mine away and went back to swimming eating drinking chilling and sleeping.
Palolem and to some extent Goa are not really India. Just like Koh Phagnan is not Thailand and Dahab is not Egypt. It’s a backpacker community designed to meet the western backpackers dream of a cheap beach holiday. I’m not complaining. This place is one of the coolest I have ever traveled to but I am not kidding myself that I have honestly experienced the real India while staying here.
Finally ran into Patrick an Aussie that Runty said I should look up when I got here. I had given up looking for a Blond Aussie from Tassie so in the end he found me and he didn’t even know he was looking for me. He decided to get me fucked up and pour me into a taxi at 4.30am. We lasted until two when I took the risky decision to grab two hours sleep and hope my alarm woke me…
