India day 2: from Delhi to Goa.

Submitted by maria on Sat, 08/06/2013 - 19:06

We arrive at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi, change terminal and take another flight to Goa (Panjim). To enter the terminal we have to show the policeman at the entrance the paper with the reservation of the tickets, otherwise they don't let you in and the man doesn't understand Spanish, crazy.

We arrive at Dabolim Airport in Goa after two and a half hours of flight, it is raining heavily, we look for a taxi that brings us closer to our accommodation, Casa Alfonso. The accommodation is very good, although it is a bit expensive.

It is very curious, I always thought that India was a very deserted country but Goa and Kerala are a real orchard, palm trees, rice fields, water channels.

Goa has a lot of charm, it keeps its colonial style. The Christian community is quite large, the churches like Church of our Lady of Inmaculate Conception are full and there are small altars in the streets.

We exchange money in a jewellery shop, the money is brought by another man on a motorbike.

We go for a ride, we attract their attention and they ask us for photos.

We have dinner on the first floor of a restaurant overlooking a large church.
