Day 13 - When in Goa ....

Today we had no firm plans, so after breakfast we headed to the beach to explore in the opposite direction to the way we went a couple of days ago.

We walked past what seemed to be hundreds of shacks and thousands of beach chairs, regularly approached by people asking if we wanted to sit on a lounge for free, though one guy tried to charge us 100Rs when he thought we weren't going to buy anything!


We eventually selected a shack that was well frequented, and proceeded to settle in with our books and ipods for pretty much the rest of the day, taking advantage of the service to buy drinks and lunch while we were there, though we were kept busy fending off the incessant approaches from people trying to sell us dresses, t-shirts, towels, stone carvings, henna, DVDs, ice creams, massages, peanuts, or fruit!

In the afternoon as the sun was setting we decided we'd had enough, and slowly walked back along the beach to our hotel.
