Presently I am sitting at an internet cafe in Palolem in Goa which is a vert beautiful beach located about an hours drive south of Colva. We arrived here on friday afternoon at 4 o'clock and started out by trying to find a place to stay. Keep in mind that over here it gets dark already at 6:30. But apparently we were here too early in the season as all the beach shacks were not done yet and those that were done were already booked as people were usually staying from saturday to saturday. So after running around for 2 hrs only hearing 'sorry we're full' we were getting pretty frustrated and Camilla and I went on searching in the town and not on the beach. With a little help from a nice man we at 6:15 managed to find a place that would have two rooms available at 8:30 so we booked those and happily went to meet the others and have a well-deserved chilled beer. At 7:45 we decided to go dump our luggage at the place we were going to stay but when we showed up they had given our rooms away to somebody else!!!!! b******s. So Camilla and I ran back to another place where they had a single beach shack with only a double bed to see if the 6 of us could possibly get that 'cause we just needed a place to stay. The people there were very nice and helpful and could see that we were desperate so they offered us two unfinished huts without bathrooms or toilets but with electricity and a third unfinished hut with no electricity or bathroom and only 3.5 walls (the last hut for free) which we happily accepted. Phew. At least we wouldn't have to sleep on the beach!!! At that point it was 9:30 at night and We then went on to celebrate - had dinner and chilled beers mmmm. Afterwards we joined a group of young people having a bonfire at the beach and had backed potatoes and some had portwine there as well. Good party except for the fact that 2 of the others might have been drugged..... We suspect the portwine as that is the only thing those two have in common. Very unpleasant to think about. One of the boys got a little paranoid and were afraid that us girls would get raped and was afraid that his valuables would get stolen and just talked completely nonsense and one of the girls just got really silly and couldn't walk (and we had only had 4-6 beers so it wasn;t due to the alcohol). Scary.... Sorry will have to finish this story at some other time as I am getting a back massage in 10 minutes and have to run off now. Hugs....
