It had been almost 2 years since my last vacation so me and my Girl pal Shivani made a pronto plan to Goa, packed our bags and left. We stayed there for a week, we had an apartment all to ourselves and it had a private pool too! We partied all night till 6 in the morning came home exhausted, slept till 3pm and did the same thing all over again. It was a week well spent! I really didn’t feel like coming back home. This was the 3rd time in Goa and I can’t wait to go back ASAP.
Few things I have learned in Goa (Compared to Mumbai).1. Even thought the booze is cheap rest everything is super expensive.
2. The food in Goa sucks! No jokes. I’m a foodie and 8 out of 10 places had very average food not worth the price.
3. I love French fries so I ordered it often but the ketchup available in Goa (everywhere in Goa) is disgusting not at all like the tomato sauce we are used to.
4. No clean toilets! Bloody hell… Going to the loo was a nightmare. The only clean toilet we found was at Mambos (Baga Beach) and the Moment we entered the washroom, you should’ve seen the smile on my face, it felt like heaven!
5. Few good places to party : Cabana, LPK, Titos and Mambos.
6. There is a Travel agency in Calangute called Sunny Travels, Please don’t go to them. They are the only people in New Goa who do train booking so incase if you do go please check the rates online first.. Thanks to our Moms we got to know that he was charging us a lot extra than needed.
7. We wanted to try good goan food sadly we didn’t find any.
8. Few other places to check out Thalasa, Curlies, Infantaria.
