Tender coconuts are lovely. The seller lops off the top of the coconut with this sharp knife very skillfully and then gives it to drink with a straw. Goes back to him to split it in half to scoop out the flesh to eat. I prefer the white coconut flesh more than the water, it tastes very different in texture and flavour to a normal coconut.
There are tender coconut sellers on most roads - this was on the way to Panjim, for Rs20 each, which is 30p?
Also a first for my children was sitting in the front without a car seat. Much enjoyed by both (not the toddler for obvious reasons), they took it in turns to sit in front for shortish rides. Fortunately, my mum is not a remotely fast driver so it was at largely 5 mph speeds.
Memories now, of the trip, with the snow again, in Feb of all times......today have 2 children ill at home with a fever...
