After 7 weeks of school we had our first break. I went to Hampi with Jenni - it's a place that's been on my radar for a while and has been recommended by lots of different people, however it is hard to get there so needed a lot of planning. The first thing that had to happen was to travel to Goa. We decided we'd spend a couple of days here before getting the day train to Hampi.
The place we stayed in Goa was lovely. It had a lovely garden and was very green. It was in a very quiet place called Benaulim. We got a taxi to Palm Grove Cottages from the airport. In the grounds there was the Palm Garden restaurant which served up delicious Goan food (fish and sea food).
The photo above is Jenni doing tree post on the first morning we were there. This was on the way to breakfast!
We asked about how to get to the beach - it was a little walk from Palm Grove. This is the road down to the beach - very quiet, no other tourists, just the locals and a lot of water buffalos.
The beach was similarly deserted - with lots of colourful fishing boats. We wandered right along the beach and hardly saw another soul.
When we got tired of walking we stopped in a small beach bar for lunch. This was our view. Once again quiet and peaceful and empty.
