How do you feel when suddenly you get a
chance to explore the land of sun, sand and sea? For me it was amazing,
when I got the news that this time we would explore golden sun, sparkling sand and blue sea and for that the best place was Goa. I, Father, Sushant and Jiya, we all took leave for a week from our respective jobs and packed our bags to hit the Goa, the land of beaches.
It was hard for everyone to wait, so we opted the air route and took a flight from IGI airport, Delhi.
It took around 2 hours and 25 minutes to reach Dabolim airport, Goa.
Form there, we hired a private taxi to reach our booked resort located
at most famous Dona Paula beach.
It was a sea-facing resort from where we could enjoy the sea view all
the time. For that day we decided to enjoy the recreation facilities at
resort itself along with the spell bounding views of the calm and
beautiful sea.
Dona Paula beach view doubled our
excitement. It was heavily crowded and most of them were newly wedded
couples who were there to celebrate their honeymoon in Goa.
The next day, we all left the resort a
bit early, just to make most of the day. To start the day, the first
attraction was churches of the land. We moved towards old Goa in car
hired by us. Our first Goa attraction was Church of St. Francis of Assisi.
Amazing architecture and a sacred place were a good start of that day.
After offering our prayers, we left the place and moved to explore the
culture of the Goa, blend of Indian and western culture.
After exploring some street markets of the city, the time was to enjoy the cuisines of this gorgeous land. Be it Italian, Portuguese, Punjabi, Thai, Gujarati, Chinese, South Indian, Mexican, European or Korean, Goa serves everything. We tried only rice, fish curry and bhaji and they were delicious. The day was over, we came back to resort and took the rest.
In rest of the days, we covered four famous beaches of Goa, including Anjuna Beach, Baga Beach, Bogmolo Beach and Calangute Beach. Every beach has its own charm and that cannot be expressed in words.
Rave parties of Anjuna beach
attract a large number of tourists every year and that was the reason
it was on our must visit list. We spent a full day on Anjuna beach.
While Sushant and Jiya were enjoying underwater diving at the beach, I and father explored Wednesday Flea Market.
Classical dance events and musical concerts organized at Calangute beach kept us occupied for an entire day. Where the days were dedicated to the sandy beaches, our nights were occupied in electrifying Goan parties.
In that week, we tried to explore the maximum but still a week was not enough to cover everything.
This is almost impossible to cover miles of golden beaches and green landscape in a week. So, we left the rest for our next Goa Beach Vacation and came back with golden memories and famous Kaju Feni of Goa.
