We had such grand plans to rent a scooter and go exploring today but unfortunately we were woken by the sound of torrential rains. 

We didn’t do much today. We wandered the beach of Palolem and were hassled by store owners. We then came back and looked in a few secondhand book stores but the prices were high, higher than to buy new. We wandered back and relaxed listening to the sound of monsoon rains beating down on the iron roof. 

It was nice to relax and read our books and have an early night.
