Day 179. Panjin, Goa, India. Walking the walk.

After a tiring flight south, we were tempted to sit around drinking beer all day, but Dave decided some culture was in order, so we followed him on a walking tour of Panjin, the state capital of Goa.

A charming little town it is too, especially after the teeming craziness of Mumbai. Goa was a Portuguese colony for hundreds of years and the european influence is everywhere; the pretty churches, town squares and narrow cobbled streets suggesting we could be anywhere but India.

Dave proved to be a rubbish guide. Not only did he fail to point out anything of historical significance, but a third of the way into the walk he decided it was too hot to continue and forced us into a riverfront bar where we ended up doing exactly what we'd been tempted to do 2 hours earlier.
