Goa – the Coastline of Famed Beaches

Yeah so Goa, didn’t love it. This was probably attributed by the number of stores and restaurants closed for the monsoon season, my use of 76 tissues due to hayfever and the subsequent ailments that had me bedridden, the sightseeing tour that was in Hindi not English on a non A/C bus, the overwhelming humidity and the dirty hotel room. I have heard Goa is overrated, I wanted to decide for myself and sadly I can’t disagree. However, I would certainly give it another go in the right season, probably at one of the southern beaches because while they lack the night life, the beaches are much more pristine.

All that said I did manage to have some fun. I saw some beautiful churches and towns on the sightseeing tour (and drank an exceptional coffee frappe and I borrowed a scooter the next day and putted around town. I headed up to Fort Aguada and the view was pretty amazing. I then purchased some cold n flu tablets, curled up in bed and had a rainy day in bed.
