How much did I read feedback before traveling to Goa (why everyone speaks to Goa?), And mostly, they all have come down to the fact that there are very few satisfied ride there. About dirt only lazy said. Of course it was a little scary to fly in a completely different world, but I am glad that I was not afraid.
So - February month, in Moscow to slush and dirt, and we land on a tiny military base in the tiny Indian state. The flight was nightmare, but this is the fault of compatriots, and not Indians. An hour and a half on the road, which, as we then checked, no more than 40 minutes and finally we are in your calangut. A long village, smoothly flowing in another same, and no houses or pointers, so we immediately warned that you need to carry a map with you, with the hotel marked on it. "Gloria Beach" 3 *, the second line, to the sea of 600 meters, which first seemed endless. The sea looked at a green muddy soup, heated degrees to 30. In general, the first day passed in attempts to understand why we were listed at all))).
Positive began to appear after we slightly filled out and in the evening crawled to the main street. Sea of little restaurants along the whole street, you want to go to the right, you want to the left, one immediately rushed into the eye in Russian "We have a borsch!" They took this place to a note for the future, although personally I was enough for 2 weeks of Indian cuisine, but my husband asked for the 10th day to request something more thanks. I do not understand those who complain about Indian cuisine, I was delighted with shrimp, and from chicken, and from shark steaks. All the fresh, brought quickly, and in all restaurants where we had dinner. And the daily dinners were on the beach. The hostess of the beach bar was such a wonderful woman of 50 years old, when we were told on the eve of the departure to her that we were leaving tomorrow, she prepared an excellent chicken as a gift.
Excursions We had standard, it doesn't make sense about them especially: Old Goa, Plantation, Indian night, party on the beach and a trip to the night market. I really liked the market, I do not know what is so terrible? Bucked sandals elephants, listened to the music, drank a glass of Portwine and left quite satisfied with life. We do not smoke and usually do not drink, so different pranks were interested only for "see".
In general, my memories of Goa are the warmest. People there are cute and very clean, despite the poverty. If they smile, and not to look at them from above, as the third grade, they will answer the most sincere kindness.
