Goodbye Goa, hello Yogi's

The farewell
The day of departure has arrived, long enough, we have pushed it away, loosen each bolt on the car to be able to mess around a little longer. Now we have to rush all over India to Nepal to reach Kathmandu in time...
The Austrians Wolfi and Verena are also leaving today, so all four of us walk around the Overlander crowd to say goodbye. Not an easy thing after good two months together at the beach ...
For those interested I have listed all other Overlanders in Agonda at the end of this report :)
The Idiot
With the idiot we have agreed to meet him today at Candolim Beach to collect our 4000 rupees. But yes, the idiot is not in Candolim at the time when we had the meeting... and so we must wait until six in the evening what does not help with our tight schedule! THANK YOU!
The reunion...
... with Marco from Switzerland, is at least possible thanks to the idiot above. We meet Marco at the Villa Blanche. For over 10 years, Marco drives every year with his big Mercedes bus from Switzerland to Goa and back. Together with his girlfriend he operates a bistro and enjoy the good weather.
Three years ago I was standing for two weeks with Marco in Vagator and it was a pleasure to see him one more time.
It almost gave me more joy once he added a snack to our godbye: Fresh lasagna, carrot cake, chocolate cake and sauerkraut, and the best is still missing: fresh, real, homemade Swiss bread! Juhuuu!
The Yogi's
Jodi has been offering us a place to sleep, during her visit in Agonda, but what we have to expect at her home she kept concealed.
Namely, her husband and she operates one of the top 10 yoga retreat centers worldwide. The self-designed facility is large and perfectly harmonious. A swimming pool is ideal for hanging around, two yoga halls with a view to the surrounding forest, the accommodations are stylish, luxurious and comfortable.
We are immediately led to the exquisite buffet where we can fill our hungry bellies with healthy food. Everything fits here and it does not surprise me that international star yoga teacher (did not know that things like this exist):) teach here and take their customers with them. Brilliant!
More genius is that we can occupy one of the rooms, you will not believe what a blessing it is to finally have his own bed and do not have to share with anybody! Juhuuu ... Sincerely thank Jodi and Olaf!
