My experience in Goa

I'm just returning from a trip to goa and this is an account of what I saw there

Good advertising

The goans have advertised themselves as tourist friendly and it shows everywhere. For the first time I saw a state almost entirely concentrating on developing tourist places.

towns and beaches

Sadly this is a disappointment. Towns are filthy..lots of plastic thrown everywhere...main beaches are similar too..in monuments only a certain area around is kept clean and surrounding it is again garbage..

Roads

Single most amazing and exciting experience...flawless..goa is best experienced by roaming around with a rented vehicle..infact roads need a separate blog post..they are THAT good..

Dining

A place to be for carnivores and boozers...i dont do both...but I managed to get veg food in all the places..food is good here..although service is a bit late

People

People are very friendly here.everything here is laid back, relaxed and cool..sometimes they are plain lazy too ! People coming here are incredibly stylish. Nobody's in a hurry here..It feels as if time is stagnant here. No deadlines ,no time limits, no nothing..Its an Ideal place to relax from a hectic schedule. Goa is literally full of foreign tourists.

Weather

Its a combination of the extremes..mornings are typically chilly. As sun goes up you get literally roasted! 11 to 4 is hottest then after 5 p.m. Sudden everything cools down and nights are chilled..
Overall its a wonderful experience i must add..to conclude, one must experience the place ..so go goa !
