Our quickest time for finding accommodation1 sees us in an amazing Guest House, with stairs and balconies all over the place.2 Panaji is a lovely little town, all it needs is cobbled streets and we could be in Europe! The air is hot and humid, like a sauna.3 It's hard to believe that only two days ago we were freezing in Ooty.
The Portuguese certainly left their mark here. Most of the women wear blouses and knee-length skirts and a lot of people still speak Portuguese. The Church of the Immaculate Conception is the main centrepiece of the town. From the outside it's impressive. From the inside it would be impressive if they hadn't painted everything gold. The town is otherwise just fit for wandering around in as you enjoy the quiet.
- We got a motorbike taxi (lovely old Enfield) from the train station and the guy said he knew 'just the place'.
- Not to mention the amazing parrot next door that sang snippets of jazz tunes all the time!
- 90 degrees in the shade!
