Goa is smalliest state of India.I fly here two and half week ago from Riga,Latvia.
17 hours flight via Stockolm,sweden and Doha,Qatar.First morning here I go to local motorcycle
rental company and ask Royal Endfield 350 Bullet.They have one left and I rent that.It costs here
from 7-10 eur per day ,depent how long you want to rent it.Before I fly here I booked a hotel
from Vagator beach.Vagator beach is very nice place and my hotel is 300m from beach.Many people come here at evening because Vagator beach is famous about its beautiful sunsets.After sunset almost
everybody go away from here and it is very peaceful here at night time.I sleep windows open and I fall asleep every evening listening the sounds of Arabian sea waves.Yellow house hotel is owened by
one family.They also live here.They have take good care of me.I have been their family birthday party and etc.I really like these people!

Traffic here is something else.At Goa Mumbai highway NH17 there is different speed limits for
motorcycles,cars and trucks!There is vehicles everywhere.It is left side traffic here.They dont use blinkers at all.All what they use here is horn.It is very important,every time you pass car or truck you have to use horn,then they know that someone is passing you otherwise they just can turn right front of you with out blinking and then it is your fault.After few hours practice it was ok.One day when I was on my way to Dudhsagar water falls ,police stop me.I got 100 Rup ticket because I was not using helmet!Same day when I was riding back one police stop me again because not wearing helmet.
I show him my ticket and he wish me good trip and say you can go now.

One day I was on my way to Ozrant beach I miss one crossroad and get lost .I ended at small road
and there was one very cool Royal Endfield chopper outside of house.There was one man and he tell that he has built the bike.He was from England and he has been living there with his lovely wife 15 years.He and his friend start their own motorcycle shop .Check from facebook Rag & Bone Customs.
He invited me to his home ,there was one more bike at living room.During this trip I have also visiting many motorcycle workshops .It is cool see how they work here with motorcycles.Maybe
they dont have best tools in the world but make it,you know old school style!
Vagator and Ozrant beach.They call them 60`s "hippie haven".Nowadays in Anjuna there is flea market every wednesday.My personal favourite is Cola beach ,south part of Goa,it is about 100km
from Vagator where I live.It is very peaceful place,you can also rent bungalows there if you like and there is also fresh water lagoon (blue lagoon).Looks like paridise to me.

Dudhsagar water falls.It takes 2-3 hours ride to Colem from my home.It is only 100 km but traffic
here is what it is.Roads go usually throu towns and cities.From Colem only way to go to waterfalls
is jump to Jeep.It is not allowed to go there by your own.Jeep ride takes about 50 minutes and it is
9km.It is more like Jeep safari but really nice.Dudhsagar water falls is second biggest one in India.
320 meters water is falling down.We stop there like one hour.It was enough to go to swim and take some pictures.Also lot of small monkeys asking for bananas.
of small serpentine hill roads.They are just so nice ride.Next saturday I fly to New Delhi ,one night
there and then fly to Melbourne,Australia.If I am lucky there will be Road King waiting for me.....
So my friends,stay strong!Ana & Bullet
