Small boats
As you can assume as we are on the river, there is bound to be boats of all kinds there, and I took photos of them. I loved how the morning light showed beautiful color reflections on the water

Palm trees

Palm trees prior sunset (top) and after sunset. The colors and tones are so different
Kerala style house boat
Kicking off my sandals I lie back on the cushions, take a sip of a local wine, Not a good choice and watch the palm trees drifting by. It’s the start of my second week in Goa and we’re spending it on a Kerala style rice boat on the Chapora River in northern Goa.
We leave just before sunset and sitting on the top deck, watch the world go by. This has to be the perfect way to relax.. Spending the night on the houseboat was the one thing we were all most looking forward to. Here are some shots of the boat, I can highly recommend this. It was like in a Hercule Poirot movie.
As the sun sets behind the palms the scene is so picturesque, that I continue taking photos so I will capture the wonder of it.

New Year in Calancute, Goa
I usually do not write that much, but here are some photo’s taken at the beach in Calancute, Goa.
The beach was so full of Indians from the countryside, most had not seen the sea before, the joy they showed was so childlike. Tourist are a minority in this party even if there were plenty of us there also. The techno music came from every shack on the beach, different noice from all of them, you could hardly talk. There were beautiful bonfire’s on the beach and people were sending memory kite’s, we also tried, they looked beautiful in the dark sky. At midnight the fire works started and lasted for some time. Quite wonderful.
