Baga to Palolem in Goa

Its monsoom season and when it rains it rains so hard here. We are now in south Goa in a place called Palolem. We travelled by train from Baga. The south east monsoom hits the coast and release its rain with power gathered out from the Arabian Sea. However it has one of best beaches I have ever seen. Its a horse shoe shaped tropical beach and its great to just sit back and watch the big waves crash into the beach. There is not much to do here, its so layed back as it is out of season but is very cheap. We met a German couple called Leo and Lina who are from north germany and we travelled together from Benjim (old Goa) to Polalem. We have become good friends and have went out together for drinks and tea a sharing stories from home. On Monday I asked the chef of a restaurant we were eating at to pick me and Leo up a fresh shark from the fish market. On the Tuesday he brought to the table a big shark, we ate the shark chargrilled and its was lovely, one of the best I have had. We met that night another german brother and sister from munich. He is a staunch Bayern Munich fan and he wants to see a Bayern champions league match and visit Anfield to hear 'You'll Never Walk Alone'.  I have also been learing some german....well how to order a beer.

We go to Hapi tomorrow (Friday 5th July) this was once a mighty Hindu empire now lying in ruins amid an enigmatic boulder strewn landscape.
