We started out our adventure with a nice beach vacation. After a lovely 14 hour bus ride from Mumbai, we arrived in Goa and started our trip in Arambol at the northern end of Goa. We Bermudians are well equipped for the beach life, but this is different. The cows and wild dogs sunbathing caught us a little off guard. There are no reservations here - you just show up and see what beach hut colony or guest house has availability and it's all about luck getting a good one. We didn't have the best of luck... but it was somewhere to sleep. We explored the markets and beaches to find freshwater lagoons and endless cliff side views. We enjoyed many curries and Nutella pancakes while soaking in serene and spectacular sunsets alongside the countless hippies. We made a day trip to Anjuna beach where we made friends with a dog we named Shakira. She followed us around and sat with us on the rocks and even ran to us for protection when two male dogs started harassing her (we didn't offer much protection as we ran from them too!).
Next stop - Calangute
