Goodbye's and Hello's

A Goodbye to the gang of Diu meant a Hello to some of those I had met in Rishikesh and Mc Leod Ganj, and of course, to new people. A sad goodbye to Xavi, who was sick, Bill, Lien, Patrick, Ovi and Helena, and the Australian chicks, Brie and Emily. I would say by to Hamish and Jim after my 30 hour train trip to the Panjim station.

On the train I met Louise, an Australian girl with an open plan. Her ticket didn't go as far as Goa, but she stayed in the train around Jim and me. When time came, she decided to stop in Goa as well. She was starting to become a bit annoying already but in her favor I must say she managed for us single rooms for 300 Rs. Not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either.

I finally stayed in Chapora, small place 20 minute walk from Moondance in Vagator, where I would say hello to Gil and Eddie and many new people. Out of all these, worth mentioning Carro and Maria, Swedish girls that hanged out with Gil and Matt most of the time, though in general, I would say, everyone did its way. Apparently, I had briefly met Maria in Rishikesh on my first stay before the trek. I would also meet Wesley, or Spider, as everyone called him, can't recall now why. He shared a room with Matt, with whom I would not meet until my second day.
