"Hey! It's the Fruit Guy!"

The more people are found lying on the Goan beaches, the more you'll see fruit vendors with big baskets on their heads trying to make some business.

They're generally not too pushy; they simply inform you of the variety they have and then they move on.

Some people may be concerned about the hygiene of the fruit knife, the basket or the vendor's hands - but we had pineapple & little bananas quite a few times and our tummies were fine :-) Especially when it's fruit that you have to peel, you're pretty safe anyway.

A bag of pineapple cost about 5 Rupees - but of course you'll always get the occasional wise-guy that thinks he can make some extra money from the "dumb tourists":
(we saw a Russian couple that got ripped-off by a different fruit-guy, paying 40,- Rupees for the same!)
