Bicycle around the Country Side

Zipping around Goa in taxis or coaches has its advantages but then the real essence of the Goan ethos is sadly missed. A leisurely cycle ride around the countryside and into the village by-lanes gets you the real taste of the Goan way of living. Whether it is ploughing of the rice fields or harvesting them, feeding the fowls or calling the pigs to the trough, heating water in a giant copper pot fueled by dried leaves, all these activities evoke keen interest.
One may even come across the village sexton as he rings his bell and heralds a birth or death in the village, or an occasional harvesting of the pond ,..... the list goes on.
