Woke up around 10am today. It was the best sleep since I arrived in Goa. The volunteer house (I call it the Big Brother House) is cool, however around us there are lots of stray dogs howling at night, and cockerels crowing at down, so it can be a little noisy during the night. But I think I am used to it now.
After breakfast I went to 'Martins' place and got my internet dongle sorted. Martins is a wooden shack in Assonora village, however he sells mobile phones, and internet accessories....not what you would normally expect in a wooden shack, in a small village in the countryside :-)
Before lunch Schivram our volunteer leader gave a really good presentation on Indian Religions: Hinduism, Budhism, Jainism, Sikhism.
India has a fascinating history with a culture going back 5000 years.
During lunch the 3 sick girls: Vera, Maud and Lisa arrive back from an over night stay in the hospital.
The felt a lot better, but not well enough to go sightseeing in the afternoon.
After lunch Hanna, Lote and I took the bus to Anjuna Beach.
Anjuna is a cool place...a Hippy Beach.
You will find an eclectic mix of Goan, Indian and western (mostly Russian) people on the beach, all enjoying the sea, sun and trance music.
The one thing you don't expect to see on a tourist beach is cows roaming freely, but you will find them in Anjuna.
It's very cheap at Anjuna (compared to Europe), a cocktail costs around 3 Euro, and a meal 4 Euro.
We sunbathed for a while and swam in the sea.
Later we went to Curlie's bar to watch the sun go down and have dinner.
