2009 new year in goa

this new year has been full of fun in Goa with 8 other frnds. We had a 3 night and 4 days tour to Goa with the college friends. Stay was arranged in Park Plaza in Panaji which costed Rs.3000 for a double bed room plus an extra bed for a day. We started from b'lore in train at around 3pm on tuesday and reached madgaon around 6AM and 1hr journey to Panaji. There is direct shuttle to Panaji, if we take bus it would take 2hrs. After refereshing in hotel, we left to Calangute and Baga beach( these are adjacent beaches) and those foreigners kept us roaming in the beach continousily for more than 4hrs :-) giving good eye exercise. Who motivated us more was the golden gal :-) .Then these stupid guys made me have lunch at 5PM... huh this would have been the first time, that i am having a late lunch. food is not that good in the beach though the beach is lined with 100-s of hotels. Since that night is the new year night, we stayed in the beach till 12:30 PM. It was a good to have invited the new year from the beach.

The next day, this stupid Ram wanted pilgrimage journey and arranged for South Goa trip with the help of Goa tourism board where they showed us 2 churches, museum and a temple. that day was full of bus travel. At night, it was Ravi's birthday. He got so much birthday special punches from guys except me. The reason i didn't beat him is that, the momemtum might turn to me :-)

Next day we again moved to Calagute beach to have parasailing and water biking. They got Rs.500 for parasailing and 200 for water biking. They said they will take us for a lumba para sailing, but the lumba was the boat ride. They took us in a boat to around 2kms in the sea and they lifted us for parasailing which lasted only for around a minute :-( . It was a good ride but the duration is disappointing.

The final day, we just relaxed in the parks and did bit of shopping and returneddd

Overall its a good place for honeymoon with good beaches and scenic places. and really a good place for water bearers, i mean drunkers
