It's not the first time I was visiting goa but it was special as it was 'all besties trip' wid friends Tanvi and Reenu😁
I boarded by flight from Indore in 5.30 evening which took 1.5 hours to reach dabolim airport. One can get taxi from prepaid taxi counters run by taxi union .we hired a cab in 1500rupees for panjim. We prebooked our stay at old goa residency for overnight.
We hired a cab in 2200 rupees for our full day trip and started our Goa trip that nobody does...by church and temples🤣 first visited basilica of bom Jesus church, an 400 years old church having canonized St.franchis Xavier's body & se cathedral just opposite to it. From there we went to beautiful Shanta Durga and old mangueshi temple ,both the temples have unique architecture not just like north and Central India's temple . Enjoyed our north Indian lunch at restaurant Delhi Darbar. Then went to old Goa church and spent evening buying famous panjim kaju which comes in different flavours like roasted, fried ,salted n black pepper (cost around 1000rs/kg). Headed to calangute beach where we booked our stay , 'silver stay homestay'( in just 1000 rupees/Night with ACrooms)having calangute beach facing view.Spent night under stars near beach....'peace' I call it.
We hired 2 Activa in 250 rupees each /day ( you can get fuel in 70-75 rupees per bottle along roadside in entire Goa very easily) .Day 3 started with mouth watering English style brunch( as we started late) at tree style looking 'Baba Au rhum' cafe in Anjuna. This cafe serves wide variety of freshly made omelette, burger,pizza ,cocktails and sooo much other things (Tip- cheese lovers don't miss this place).
Later we ride to famous chapora fort ( my heart was singing Dil chahta hai 😂 continuously) . The view from the top was awesome. In evening we went Baga beach to have dinner in beach shacks and then tittos Pub
After our breakfast at German bakery , calangute ( try their fresh juices,pan cakes and raw sandwiches) it's is a small bakery but serves quality food,we rode to Aguada fort (you can take help of GPS as it's lil far )and spent around 1hour there.In evening we went to calangute towers hotel (which serves 50 % off to women's before 9 on drinks😛).
Last day at Goa was meant for last beach of Goa .... The senquerim beach 🤩 this beach is less crowded than any other beaches of Goa with beautiful view and senquerim fort with it.spent our noon in Baga shopping lane to buy saviours for family and friends. I always wanted to visit floating casino Cruise to see do they really look what we see in movies with people winning bumper cash...😜,to end this query we geared our Activa to panjim again for casino pride 2 cruise(1 hour ride ) wid tickets of 2000rupees that includes unlimited buffet dinner and 2coins of 500 each to try your luck on side tables games, Dance performances by their dancers. I just won 500 Rupees instead of bumper cash😶( pictures are not allowed inside casino also you can't sit on deck....huge disappoint 😐) . Rode back to our stay to catch morning flights.
