Ben and I changed beaches yet again to meet up with his co-worker Raissa, from Bombay. She's originally from here so knows the best spots to be. We only moved a few beaches south, and it was definitely more busy but not as hippy as before. This area is swarming with Russians! I was pretty surprised. I'd been told it was a big Russian tourist spot, but it took me seeing it to believe it. Most menus and signs were in Russian. Apparently you can get a plane ticket from Moscow to Goa for like 100USD, so why not? Anyway, we met up with Raissa and her friend and went out to a live music show to watch a friend's band. Late dinner at a Greek restaurant (fabulous!!!) and a late night out on the town. My last few days at the beach were spent much like the first- food, drinks, lounging with my feet in the sand, and a little ocean time.
The progression of my last 2 weeks has been just about perfect. I went from crazy overwhelming city to be myself in the middle of nowhere. From there, a super calm beach with few tourists and calm, clear waters to a more crowded, rougher ocean, then to a busy beach, intense nightlife and late nights. From here I head off on my own again over to Hampi. I really have no idea what to expect except that everyone who's ever been there has great things to say about their experience.
