Palolem the heaven..

---

Hello everyone,
This is the heaven...though probably I haven't seen the heaven yet..
From Calangute (North Goa) we moved to south Goa to Palolem.
In Calangute we had a great time mainly being on the beach and dining or partying with Australians.
There was one party and we came back home 6am. Surprisingly I wasn't tired so much (?) probably because there is nothing to make you tired ;-) It was a decent club called Mambo in Baga (village next to Calangute). Yes it was great ;-)))))
If you ever try Nirvana restaurant in Calangute- you won't regret. Food is excellent and very cheap. Service very friendly. Try tomato soup or banana porridge or kings prawns or....whatever it is really good.
We stayed in guest house. W had basic room but everything what we need and guess what? we realised we even don't need a hot water or hair dryer wow... if I ever told myself I will be happy to have a shower in cold water, I wouldn't believe!!
Our andlady bought small baby pig which was very stressed. She (landlady ;-) wrapped her around the tree for the first two days. I was bringing her water as it was very hot but she was very stressed. Our landlady's daughter said it is because she (pig) is not used to ...(listen to that)...white skin...hehe that is the best joke I ever heard. But they are lovely family.
It is quite enoying to be hasseled all the time by Indian woman and children trying to sell you the things on the beach. So you have to be immune to it or you will spend fortune helping poor children, disabled man, woman etc. well of course I was buying on the beach and I still bought few things today...he he
We woke up today very early to get a local bus to Palolem before it will become very hot. It is not as easy as you think. We had to change twice to get to Palolem. First you will catch a bus to Panjim then to Margao and then to Palolem. It was a big surprise for me as the buses are ok. Or maybe I expected the worse. They were playing Indian music, there was a lot of children going to school, few women going to the market. Actually we were quite lucky as we didn't have much to eat in the morning so we bought few bananas from fellow passanger next to us...
Roads are not in good condition but it was nice experience to be on the Indian bus listening indian music...and praying to get to the destination in one piece ;-))))))) no no...it wasn't as bad..
Palolem is small town or rather village and everything you need is on the beach so we spend whole day on the beach. We are staying in the huts on the beach, veeery basic but tomorrow morning we will be upgrated ;-) we will see. Food again..excellent, a lot of Swedish (we met nice couple from Sweden, English and Russians).

Uhhh teraz po polsku. chyba nie bede doslownie tlumaczyc wszystkiego co wczesniej napisalam bo mi zejdzie do rana...w kazdym razie Jestem w raju. Moze jeszcze nie widzialam wszystkiego ale tu jest naprawde pieknie i bardzo tanio. Jestesmy w Palolem.
Wczesniej bawilysmy w Calangute, to miasteczko w polnocnej Goa. Wiekszosc czasu spedzalysmy na plazy, na jedzeniu i na imprezach z Australijczykami. Raz zabalowalismy do 6 rano i o dziwo wcale nie bylam zmeczona.
Jesli bedziesz w Calangute koniecznie musisz wejsc do restauracji Nirwana. Maja tam swietne jedzenie, dobra obsluge i jest tanio.
King krewetki, zupa pomidorowa czy zwykle platki owsiane z miodem i bananami...pycha..
W Calangute zatrzymalismy sie w domu goscinnym kolo Gabriel guest house. Placilysmy bardzo tanio 500 Rupii. Pani domu kupila malego prosiaczka na targu. Swinka niestety byla bardzo zestresowana poniewaz pani przywiazala ja sznurem do drzewa. Prosiaczek nie chcial jesc ani pic, chcialam dac mu wody ale biedaczek jescze bardziej sie stresowal. Cosra wlascicielki stwierdzila ze prosiaczek jest zestresowany bo nie widzial nigdy bialej skory...ughhh co za wytlumaczenie, typowo hinduskie..
Dzis rano wczesnie wstalysmy by dojechac do Palolem, i aby uniknac upalu.
Nie jest to takie proste jakby sie zdawalo bo przesiadalysmy sie 2 razy. Ale autobusy niczego sobie. Byly dzieciaki jadace do szkoly, panie z koszami banaow na glowie i hinduska muzyka jaka raczyl nas kierowca. Drogi nie sa zbyt dobre ale podroz wcale nie byla taka zla biorac pod uwage ze kosztowala nas L0.75 yeepie!! To sie nazywa taniocha.
W Palolem zatrzymalysmy sie w hatce na plazy, wiekszosc ludzi tutaj tak wlasnie mieszka. Bardzo duzo tu Szwedow, i Rosjanow, czesto biora nas za Ruskie...
