Waterfalls Fantastic Waterfall some 600m high with the Konkan Railway passing across. The Waterfall can only be accessed by road using a 4x4 for the last 12km. There's plenty of monkeys about so bring plenty of Bananas. |

These women were taking a short cut
along the track to the market and were tough negotiators before they
allowed me to take the pictures
|
Spent twenty minutes haggling with this lady for a couple of bags at the Anjuna Market and she threw in the pictures for the price. | ||

 |
| Uuh. Indian punk rocker or should I say a Rajistan lady | This lady was making tea at Anjuna Market and asked for double the price to take the pictures | This tramp was loitering around Margao station and gladly accepted some money for the picture | These guys didn't want to miss out either |
| Jungle
Book Spent a night sleeping in a pretty basic mudhut with lethal electrics in the jungle and enjoyed a one and one half hour gruelling jungle walk to the magnificent and relatively unknown Surla Waterfall some 400m high. At the camp there were four elephants and some bullocks giving rides. Great fun eh. |

| Kola Beach Kola Beach in South Goa was the setting for a romantic castaway night sleeping on the beach in a superior tent. The beach was deserted except for several fishing boats that returned the following morning with their catches. From the beach one could view dolphins and other fish leaping out the water and eagles hovering overhead. The sunset was stunning. |

Transportation Well there's plenty to see in all shapes and sizes. Air conditioned coaches means mini fans fitted above the seat. Don't even think about hiring a car, its bloody dangerous out there and the Goan papers are riddled with death crashes. |
