Having had enough of the fast-paced travel and needing a little beach-bum action, Chris and I headed to the wonderful Palolem with the intention of staying for four days before moving up the coast to sample some more of Goa's sandy stretches.
However, the pictures (and our new geeky video diary!) say it all. It was just too beautiful and relaxing; we parked our bums and stayed in this idyllic paradise for ten days!
There was nothing to do but yoga...
Eat...
Read...
Sunbathe...
Eat some more...

Sleep...
We did, however, venture slightly further up the coast on scooters (much to the shock-horror of my Mum!). We seriously went at 15mph the whole way as we were too scared to go any faster! It was the first time I'd EVER been on a scooter and there was no way I was going on the back of Chris': his only experience with scooters was a CRASH at the age of 18. So... we got one each for - wait for it - £1.50 for the day! Of course, this didn't include helmets (nor insurance) but we insisted -yes, mum! - and were given some very large and non-fastening ridiculous helmets. Better than nothing I suppose!
Palolem was continually under construction while we were there, much to Christophe's frustration who hates the fact that investment is so short-term here. Every year, the people must take down their huts during monsoon season and then re-build them in time for the busy holiday season from November to March.
