Harnai to…. Goa - Taxi

Today I made an attempt to share a few moments of our taxi ride with you. I “thought” I had my camera on video mode but I later found out that I was doing it all wrong - no video at all. I’m disappointed because I thought I had caught some of those “take your breath away, flinch and close your eyes” moments that eventually happen on every taxi ride here.

I’ve since figured out the proper way to start the video on my camera so I will make another attempt in the near future. In the meantime, here’s the video that Jan captured as we attempted to pass two trucks and pass through a small town at the same time.

[Unfortunately, the video was too big to upload from the internet here.]

Goa is the smallest state in India and is a popular tourist destination because of its beautiful beaches. We are in the small town of Candolim at the northern part of Goa… near where the Mandovi river empties into the sea. Our hotel is not on the beach, but that’s ok… there’s time to see the beach in the next few days.
