27 December at the beach
Fresh coconut water stand at the beach head
A little more surf today
Since last year, Pedro's has been re-painted in a lurid green
When we first visited Goa twenty years ago, Pedro's was a single small beach hut with a sand floor & plenty of flies
Dinner at Longuinhos - mutton birianee, pork vindaloo & mixed raita
30 December - last visit to the beach this year
Our favourite Pedro's lunch again / Derek has a last paddle
30 December
Derek enjoys a last lunch this year at the Venice
On New Year's Eve we flew back up to Bombay for a few days at the Taj Palace, our all time favourite hotel
Views from our hotel room - the imposed pattern is due to the fact I had to shoot through mosquito netting
which was normally invisible to the human eye...
Back again in our favourite Mumbai bar - the Gokul...
...to enjoy aperitifs - a quarter bottle of local gin (£1.70) (even cheaper in Goa)
Out on the streets, fireworks at midnight bring in the New Year /
Revellers at the Gateway to India (far fewer than in previous years)

A last lunchtime drink in the Gokul
