The one thing Palolem has, apart from great swimming, etc, is deep shade from its many coconut trees. Agonda is much less crowded, but too hot. We went on a great cycle ride yesterday and stumbled across some lovely beaches but nothing can beat the luxury of deep shade, in my view, especially when that view is of the milk warm sea from a hut on stilts.

Actually, the hut on stilts seems to be inhabited by rats who ate my chocolate last night. Maybe time to move on.

We just watched India score too many runs in the Goan ODI. 

Don’t bother collecting us. We’ll get the last train or spend the night at Gatwick.
