Goa part 2 - Old friends
One of the nice things about going back to Colva was meeting up with people we knew from ten years ago.
Mr Amunkar recognised us straight away. Even after a decade "family credit" still applies to us in the shop. We picked up books and towels for free, and paid back by dropping in a couple of books to his shop as we were leaving.
We took Manuel, Peter and Lucia out for dinner at Sea Pearl and caught up on news. We then went back to their shop for a few late Diwali fireworks.
Bethan and Lucia hit it off.
After asking after him for a few days, Salu finally found us. He'd been off on long trips in his Toyota Qualis - the same car Basavaraj drives for us in Bangalore.
We had been told by the girls on the beach that Aneesha worked up towards Majorda, and after moving into the hotel there she was the first person we met when we walked down by the sea.
