We left Goa, India, and are now in Singapore. We spent about a week in Goa just relaxing on the beach and getting over multiple bouts of food poisoning.
Goa was a really interesting place. It was a Portuguese colony for about 450 years. It’s located on India’s west coast about halfway down the length of the country. Hippies flocked to the area in the 60s and 70s enjoy the beaches, great food, wonderful weather, cheap food, cheap accommodation and plentiful drugs. The hippy culture still very much exists in Goa.
The Portuguese brought Christianity and European architecture to the area. It was really weird driving around on our scooter seeing the typical sights in India and then driving past Christian churches and uniquely European churches.
It was a good visit but we were happy to leave for Singapore.
Enjoy the pictures!
