Goa - The art of doing nothing

Hagay&Inbal: After a whole week of doing nothing in Arambol beach, and after Hagay's 'kotzim batahat' started to be too painful, we decided to do something with ourselves. So we rented a motorbike and headed to Palolem beach. What was supposed to be a nice and easy 2.5 hours drive was in fact a 6.5 hours drive, and if we take into account two stops by the police we get closer to 7.5 hours drive... Our butts still hurt !
But finally we have arrived, right in time to have a dip in the Indian ocean, take a shower and drink some chai in front of a beatuful sunset...

Regarding the police incident: this was our first occasion of 'Bakshish' in India... We were sure the drive is going to be nice and easy, but it turned out to be quite a ride, with going on a 'highway' (Indian highway, meaning the average speed is 60 Km/h) on the way. So stupid of us but we forgot Hagay's drivers license and the bike's docs in Arambol... So on the highway suddenly a cop signals us to stop... We stopped like good children and when he found out we had no license he told us to go back to our guest house to bring the license but leave the bike with him (!) When we said it is not possible for us he said "OK, 1000 rupee fine!" that's where we started arguing and Inbal smiled at the cops so we ended by paying bakshish (less than they wanted but still too much !) and went on our way happy... and then 50 Km south another police stopped us, and again asks for documents and again we say we don't have and again he suggests we run marathon back to bring the docs or we need to pay... This time we were more assertive and we told him we already paid to another cop so we shouldn't pay. Believe it or not - the guy went to consult with his fellow cops in the Jeep and when he came back he said we can go and even was polite enough to show us the way !!!

So kids - when you take a bike in Goa don't forget the license !!! :)


We have some pictures in which we show everything we are doing in Goa (more or less): Inbal is drawing, we ride bikes, watch sunsets and hug.

So be safe all. We will write soon !

Love you, Inbal & Hagay
