Planned and executed Goa trip with 13 friends !

DAY 1

It was 8 am and we had missed the Thivim station which was nearer to our stay than Madgaon station. We reached Madgaon and searched for a cheaper taxi. As we were a group of 13 we needed two taxis and that would cost us 4000 rupees. But some good guy had a winger which was 14 seater ,he dropped us at the hotel for 2900 after some negotiation. It took almost one and half hour to reach, but some Bollywood item numbers during the journey made the journey more fun than tiring. We reached the hotel and it was beautiful, but it was 10 am and still we had 3 hours for check-in. So we put all the luggage in the cloak room and went to rent some two wheelers. We took 4 activas and 2 bikes for 12 guys ( one of our friend was yet to reach). We fill the petrol tank and went to calangute beach, where we took hats due to scorching sun. We spent almost half an hour at the beach and then left for the hotel. We got our rooms ,it was 3 rooms divided in 12 people so 4 guys in each room. After freshning up we jumped into swimming pool and spent there hours doing nothing. Some of us didn't bring the swimming costumes so we went to the market near the calangute beach for some shopping, we brought some floral shorts, sunglasses and bracelets. We clicked some good pictures at the beach and the went to the hotel taking some alcohol for the night from a wholesale shop. Now when we were looking for someone who can take us to the island ride plus snorkeling, some guy randomly came and asked us if we were there for a vacation, he handed over the brochure of the island trip. It was 1000 per person and it included the boat ride, snorkeling, free beer and whiskey, veg and non-veg buffet and dolphin sight seeing and also pick up and drop at hotel. So we confirmed that we would go for an island trip tomorrow. We reached the hotel ,ate dinner and partied till 3 in the morning.

Day 2 ( Grand island tour and Cruise)

With a bit of hangover we somehow managed to wake up at 9 and get ready by 9:30 in the morning, we took all the extra clothes and whatever else was needed, the bus was waiting for us

at the main road. The bus took us from some small roads to a

place where we needed to catch the ferry. So the boat ride started and it was beautiful, seagulls all over the boat, and the boat is in the middle of the sea and some dolphins swimming at a distance. We reached the grand island with our life jackets on, the trainer told us to jump from the boat in the deep water, and it was no island it was just a mountain. Some of us were frightened by water so they hesitated at first but then due to the life jacket they felt relaxed, so now we are in the middle of sea, water is all salty and our legs obviously can't touch the ground cause it was very deep, we were gliding and swimming in the sea. The sun was shining bright and the water was cold as ice, the amalgamation of both was nothing but peace, facing the sun with closed eyes on the water is an amazing experience. We spent almost one and half hour in the water and then went back to boat. They served us chill beers and then we went to the monkey island for lunch. It was a very small island but the atmosphere there was amazing, everyone sitting on the beach and eating , there's songs playing on speakers. They served us veg and non-veg buffet which was quite nice. After clicking some pics and chilling there for more than an hour, we started the return journey. We reached our hotel at 6 PM and we all were very tired, but according to our plan we had to visit the Deltin cruise. So after resting for an hour we booked a taxi as it was far from our hotel, to reach the Deltin jaqk. I was under 21 so I was not allowed to enter the casino. I only went there for unlimited drinks and food. ( The age limit for drinking in goa is 18). The bar at the top of the cruise was amazing plus the food and some dance performances. The experience was amazing. We reached our hotel by 3 AM and slept like a baby.

Day 3 (South goa)

According to the plan we were supposed to explore south goa, but the problem was driving the two wheeler till south goa which was around 50kms far. But then after a lot of discussion we decided to go on our two-wheelers and ohh boy it was hell of a roadtrip. The temperature was perfect the roads were beautiful and it became more and more beautiful as we entered the south goa, the roads were small, covered by the trees so that hardly any sunlight passes, surrounded by big , beautiful and old houses. The road trip was one of the best thing we did in goa. So our next destination was Cavelossim beach, popularly known as white sand beach. The view from the beach was serene, the beach was quite, clean and less crowded. The only people we saw were foreigners, we didn't think that we would find a such a beautiful beach in the peak season with this number of people. We were all prepared to go directly in the beach. We spent almost an hour and half in the beach enjoying waves and the cold water. Then it was the lunch time and we found a very good restaurant near the beach. (Forgot the name but it was opposite to the mike's place)

We tried beef there and it wasn't that good but the other things we ordered were pretty amazing. After the heavy lunch we decided to visit the majorda beach for sunset. We reached there just 15-20 mins before the sunset and it was the most beautiful sunset I had ever saw, the sky went all red and it was surreal. We spent a good amount of time there, it went dark and we were ready to our next destination which was haunted. Google maps was not able to show us the correct address, it was greatly building up, there were very less light and dogs were barking continuously. Then we finally found the way to the THE THREE KINGS CHURCH it was just 500mts away , but the road ahead was inclined and literally no lights except the moon light we reached to the top and it was to see the barrier so that no one goes inside after 7pm. We stayed there for 10 minutes and then finally decided not to go as there were no lights and there were animals spotted at night according to some locals. It was very different experience. We finally reached our hotel at 9 PM.
