I have wanted to go to Goa for like ages ever since I last went in early 2010. So I was really pleasantly surprised and excited to be invited for a trip with the Contraband bunch!
A trip to Goa in August promised to be rainy and a mostly indoors vacation. But I was in for an awesome time. We hired a bike and drove down through short sporadic showers.
Goa in the monsoon is just beautiful, green and refreshing. There are very few tourists around and you feel free to just chill and walk around and be completely yourself.
We went to Arambol, Baga, Calangut, Vagator and Anjuna beaches. Breakfast in sleepy half shut shacks and watching the rain come in from the sea was amazing. And I got to see Bom Jesus church this time!
Food played a major role with searching for restaurants that were open for lunch at 4 in the evening, driving down to Martins to have crab, yummy desert at Brittos and squid in a little corner shop. It was an absolute treat for my taste buds!!
Good music was always nearby. Jamming in S's flat, Jazz music at dinner and a simple Goan band at lunch on the last day.
Spending time with Ash was beautiful and to do it in Goa felt wonderful... our last walk on the beach was the romantic highlight of our stay :")
4 days of so much fun... I felt so relaxed and have warm memories :)
