We made use of the scooter again today, there was a place that did homemade cakes etc. So we went there mid afternoon and treated ourselves. We had read there was a beach a little further south of Candolim called Coco beach so thought we'd go for a look. On the way there we drove alongside a stretch of water and there was a large area to stop with steps downwards. There was just one man fishing stood on the steps and his wife sat on a chair at the top. We stopped...

For the next couple of days we have hired a scooter again to get out and about and see some more sights. We rode up to Fort Aguada, from there we stood looking out into the sea and saw some dolphins! Very cool! We walked around there for a little while then went on the look out for a bar called Bobs bar. Apparently there is a story that Lord Lucan lived here for sometime and had this bar as his 'local' and there is supposed to be a photograph of him on the wall....

We had a day off from the beach today and decided to get ahead with some reading on Thailand etc. Also we thought we would have a look into other things we might want to go whilst here in India. There is a boat trip to see dolphins which goes from Candolim and we want to go to Old Goa and a spice plantation. We may do Old Goa and the spice plantation when we are in Porvorim, our next stop where we'll be closer. We went for a walk later on to see the rest of Cand...

Moving day again, we had to check out of the hotel for 10.30am this morning which is the earliest check out we have had so far.

There was a woman and what looked like her mother in there, the place was just shelves filled top to bottom with books! Straight away she had exactly what w...

It's our last day in Calangute before we go to Candolim tomorrow. Seen as yesterday was so nice at the beach shack we thought we'd have another day there. Just on the off chance we went to see if the book shop was open one last time, it was although they didn't have the rough guide we wanted! Very frustrating! On the way to the beach there was a small bookshop which we thought we'd give a go. He didn't have any travel guides but suggested another book shop we hav...
