Back in favourite Panaji 😍

After a few days in a very touristy and annoying Candolim we made our way back to Panaji. We stayed at our old neighborhood with the same hosts. ❤️ We ate our favorite samosas at the café at our accommodation. Even tried their ice coffee this time. Soo so good! At the cafe we also met an older lady who has travelled a lot and told us that she’s been to Bosnia. Turns out she went to pilgrimage in Međugorje where she tasted a tea she liked a lot, forest fruit tea by Franck. She even had a tea bag of that tea in her purse, Šumsko voće!🥺

Afterward we went for a cocktail in a cool bar next to our stay (Joseph bar), I did some work, and then we had another favourite dish at the café, cheese omelette😋

Later we took a walk around the city and finished the evening by hanging out with the hosts. They made us a famous Goan drink, Urrak, made from the cashew alcohol Feni. The hosts are amazing and were telling many different stories. Apparently monkeys can sometimes find their way into the cities and climb on buildings. They told us that it happened a couple of times that a monkey came into their apartment and took something, like bananas. They gave us bananas for the trip tomorrow and told us to watch out for the monkeys 😉

Also a relative of the hosts is a successful biomed researcher in Sweden working in Stockholm Small world. 😊

A new Goan dish for today was the Bebinca , a 7 layers Indo-Portuguese cake with coconut taste. (Not pictured bc we ate it too fast)Read more
