Incredible India! - Goa गोवा

Portuguese merchants first landed in Goa in the 15th century, and annexed it soon after. The Portuguese colony existed for about 450 years, until it was taken over by India in 1961.

We (Inge and myself) stayed in Goa 4 days, having great fun and visiting as much as we could. As soon as we got out of the airport, I saw this little penguin... I had never seen a sexual penguin before...
SOOOO FUNNY!


As we arrived on a Wednesday, we left our suitcases in the hotel and we rushed to the flee market. I think I have never seen so many colours together besides a gay parade! Beautiful place! Weird and lovely people!





There are a bunch of Portuguese-style houses and churches all over the state. The houses are painted in green, yellow, purple, red, blue... a great palette of bright colours.





I love this picture! It looks like an ad for United Colors of Benetton!

Goans are just like all the Indians: friendly, laid-back, joyful, colourful and very respectful!
