The train to Goa was 16 hours, but fortunately it was overnight and we met a group of travellers from Melbourne, Australia. We chatted about our experiences in India and one of them had a guitar so we listened to him play for a while. The train stopped in Madgaon which is a small town inland. We took a second train to Thivim and a rickshaw to Anjuna.
We stayed in a guesthouse about a kilometre inland from the beach. Since it was early, we set out to find some breakfast. I had the most delicious fruit salad with apples, bananas, pineapple, papaya, pomegranates, and red and green grapes at Cafe Diogo. We spent the afternoon at the beach, but we made sure to apply lots of sunscreen after our experience in Varkala. For dinner, we went to a beachside restaurant with an amazing view of the sunset. I ordered the stuffed crab and it was so delicious. Anjuna has definitely had the best seafood in India so far.
The next morning, we went to the famous Anjuna flea market. There were hundreds of vendors selling all kinds of Indian souvenirs. Georgie and I found lots of things that we were looking for, but our bargaining skills were really put to the test. When we finished shopping, we checked out of our hotel and took the bus to Mapusa where we caught a second bus to Arambol.
