5 days in Goa/5 dias en Goa

I've been in Goa for the past 5 days- what a difference from other parts of India! It's hard to believe this is India as well... I spent the first 2 days in a beach down south, Palolem, the 3rd day traveling (4 buses, even though it's just a couple of hundred kms away- so took the first 2 buses, spent a few hours walking around Panaji, the capital of Goa, and then took the other 2 buses and made it just after susnet) and the last couple of days in a beach up north, Anjuna. Lots of relaxing on the beach, reading, doing nothing all day and going out drinking at night. I met some cool people- an English guy in Palolem(22 year old, first time traveling alone, came to India for 6 months with way to little money, I hope he manages:), and we came up to Anjuna together (with the whole 4 buses situation). And up here I met straight away a Dutch guy and an English guy who have been both traveling around and being nomads for many years. So we've all been hanging out together, riding motorbikes, going out drinking and we've also met a few more people with whom we've been going out at night. Last night we went swimming in the sea at about midnight- the water was so warm even at that time, it was excellent, until the guys from the bar made us come out, party poopers! Goa once used to be reknown for its big party scene- not many huge parties going on at the moment, but it's still full of nice bars and pretty busy. I'm off to Mumbai in a few hours, one day there, and then off to Thailand. I'm sad to be leaving India, I can't believe it's been 2 months here already, it went by so fast!!!

Estuve en Goa por los ultimos 5 dias- que diferente al resto de India! Cuesta creer que esto tambien es India! Los primeros 2 dias estuve en una playa en el sur, Palolem, el tercer dia viajando (4 omnibus, a pesar de que fue solo como 200 kms de distancia- asi que me tome los primeros 2 buses, pase unas horas caminando por Panaji, loa capital de Goa, y despues tome los otros 2 buses y llegue poco despues del atardecer), y el ultimo par de dias en una plya del norte, Anjuna. Mucho relax en la playa, leyendo, haciendo nada todo el dia y saliendo a tomar a la noche. Conoci mucha gente buena onda- un pibe ingles en Palolem(22 anios, primera vez que viaja solo, y vino a India por 6 meses con demasiadopoca plata, espero que lo logre:) y vinimos juntos a Anjuna (con los 4 buses). Y aca al toque de llegar conoci a un holandes y a un ingles, los 2 nomades y viajando hace muchos anios. Asi que estuvimos pasando estos dias juntos, andando en moto, tomando, y tambien conocimos otros grupos de gente con quienes estuvimos saliendo a la noche. Anoche nos metimos a nadar en el mar despues de la medianoche- el agua re linda incluso a esa hora, estuvo excelente, hasta que los tipos del bar nos hicieron salir, aguafiestas! Goa era famosa por ser zona de gran fiestas/discos- no hay muchas fiestas masivas hoy en dia, pero igual esta lleno de bares y hay bastante gente. En unas horas me voy a Mumbai, 1 dia ahi, y despues para Tailandia. Estoy triste de irme de India, no puedo creer que ya hace 2 meses que estoy en India, se me paso tan rapido!
