Today we did a long bumpy bus ride out into the countryside to see a spice plantation.

The plantation was great, we saw how many flowers, fruits and spices grow including pepper, cardamom, nutmeg, allspice, coffee, jack fruit, pineapple, cinnamon, vanilla and I am sure I have missed a couple.

We also had a Goan buffet lunch which was really good. It would be familiar to most or you if you eat Indian food in North America. They also gave us a taste of the liquor they make from the “apple” of the cashew pod. Pretty much like moonshine.

As for the ride out and the sights we saw, I think I’ll let the pictures speak for that. Please excuse the quality most of them were taken out of the bus window.
