Goa Statistic? Not us!

---

After the rejuvenating sanctuary of Air-Con Mumbai we felt ready to take on the biggest challenge there is in India..... GOA!

Fact: Goa is the most dangerous state in India (for foreigners that is). We feel it would not be sensationalist at all to call Goa....... a Death Trap.

Fact: In the last 2 years, 120 foreign tourists have met their demise within Goa. That's 1 tourist death every 6 days!
We were determined not to become Goa Statistic no: 121 & 122. But, the dangers are everywhere and risks abound. It has been harder to stay alive here than we thought, we have come close to death on many occasions.

Be forewarned, the following series of photographs are not for the faint hearted. They document the terrifying threats that we encountered whilst here, that are ever present still, and are threatening to turn the most innocent of tourists into another.... Goa Statistic.

Humidity
Death from dehydration was ever present

Banana skins
Don't underestimate the lethal power of the humble banana skin!

Unseasonal flooding
OK this was quite shallow we know, BUT it is possible to drown in only 2 inches you know!

Falling out of hammocks
(there's lots of falling happening isn't there)

More hammock trouble
Elise's smile is actually a grimace at the real fear of strangulation

Bad views
This could cause any number of threats to tourists - blindness, insanity, nausea, delerium, and yes even death (in extreme cases)

even more bad views!
Indians have a habit of swimming in their undies..

garbage filth
You name it, its in this pile of rubbish - salmonella, tetanus, the plague, warts...

snakes on the beach
This needs no explanation

Inappropriate fashion trends for a tropical climate
A rapid rise in the incidence of heat stroke ensured this trend didn't last long

Hippies
We all know how menacing hippies can be
