Still a little hungover from Friday night.......
This morning Lotte and I will go Paragliding in Ajuna Beach.
A driver will pick us up from Assonora bus station at 10am. We are both really looking forward to the experience, the view from the cliff above the beach should be spectacular.
After breakfast I said goodbye to Maud. She was leaving the house and traveling to Delhi to continue her journey through India. It's always sad to say goodbye to someone you are getting used to being around.
More to follow..
Mmm......we got to Anjuna only to be told there wasn't enough wind for Paragliding. The guy said to come back in the late afternoon, and maybe we could go then. Poor Lotte, she had to leave Anjuna at 1pm to catch her train to Bangalore, and then on to Chennai (Madras).
I said goodbye to Lotte.
For the second time in one day I was sad, but I wished her a fabulous journey.
Well, sometimes disappointment in life can open the door to an unexpected opportunity. After saying goodbye to Lotte I walked over to Ajuna's only real coffee shop: Coffee Heaven. I sat drinking my coffee wondering what to do in the afternoon. Everyone else was at Arambol Beach for the weekend, about a two hour bus ride away.
By chance I got speaking to the owner, Scotty, a biker (motorcyclist), originally from England. We chatted about bikes and then he gave me the great idea to rent a classic Royal Enfield motorcycle and ride over to Arambol Beach.
The Enfield is still made in India even though the design is about fifty years old. This would be an unforgeable experience. I picked up the bike from a rental place recommended by Scotty.
Before leaving Anjuna I texted Ingvild and Aina to let them know I would be coming over to Arambol.
The drive from Anjuna to Arambol is amazing if you are into old motorcycles like myself. It is perfect for cruising along with the wind in your hair, and watching the scenery along the way.
After a cool ride I reached Arambol Beach.
