A farmer going home

Some places are closing for the season.



Colva beach is really nice - long and wide



...only by busstand is crowded at the sunset


everybody wants to sell ice-cream and shawarma

back to the resort

...and for dinner is papaya salad with banana... other is for decoration only :-)

Elephants and spices

My niece Cathy came to visit from Sweden (NOT her on this photo ;-) ), so we made an excursion. Here - buying flowers for a temple.

On the bridge to the Spice Farm


Special cooling treatment....

Buffet lunch

Carneval!

Rasa flew to Delhi for 3 weeks - to learn more about ayerveda.

So, I took the bus to Benaulim and...

Carneval!!!!

My good friend Rudolf had invited me to share his spaceous apartment. Here he is, spraying the poor carneval participants with water.....






Rudolf with new victims. Since he learnt how to turn a normal bottle of water into a spray bottle, he is dangerous...

Bull fight

Watching the sunset, while waiting for the party 
on the beach to begin


Always boys dancing with boys.....


I warned you about Rudolf, didn´t I!
Waiting for the samba-queen from Brazil.....

...who never showed up.


But we had fun without her...
