Saharaki Spice plantation

The highlight of today was the spice plantation Saharaki. We went together with two of Dora’s friends, Tajda and Jiri. We saw some cool stuff like coffee, cocoa, cardamom, vanilla (which is actually a parasite?), cloves, kokum, and of course cashews. The tour ended with a nice buffet lunch and a bit of spice shopping.
Today we also saw Old Goa and went back to Mapusa market which was much more crowded this time. The selection wasn’t as good either and according to a lady we met, it’s only the poorer people that sell there on Sundays since the richer ones can afford to take the weekend off.
The highlight of the day except the plantation was the driver who drove us there. He told us that getting a taxi back would be hard so he waited for 2 hours and then drove us around to the other places. People here are very nice 😍Leggi altro
