I'm not a sentimental type but leaving this beautiful place makes me sad we've experienced so much in such a short time we've seen stunning beaches ate top class food (not one bad meal) but most of all we've experienced the hospitality of the Goan people, some of them have very little to give but a smile and a sincerity of welcome and friendship we are now counting down the days to our next visit safe in the knowledge that when the time comes we'll be met with true warmth that radiates from Goa and it's people.
Where have you been staying mate? We're there again in three weeks time staying at Sea Mist Candolim where we've stayed before. Truly lovely gentle people who would share their last morsel with you.
Thanks mate it's been fantastic and the Seamist and it's staff have been top notch I hope your holiday is as wonderful as ours
Would you recommend taking kids there mate? We really want to give India a go but we're very wary of the general filth of the country. I've heard Goa is a good introduction. We're very well travelled and took our daughter round Thailand and Cambodia for six weeks when she was only 4, and it was generally problem free. But they are generally much cleaner than India from what I've heard, especially Thailand which is hospital clean these days.
Personally no mate the roads frighten me never mind a kid the beaches are cracking tho but the hustle and bustle at night is very adult orientated just my opinion but we've seen a few Russian families on the beach though that's thru the day. But please when the kids are old enough to be more savvy I wouldn't hesitate it's a fabulous introduction to India. I hope this helps
Cheers for that. Definitely when you go somewhere as a family it's a very different type of holiday. We walked through Bangkok at night once as a family and decided not to do it again as it's very busy and very seedy! Likewise on the islands I'd have loved to attend one of the many dance parties, but that's also completely off limits with kids!
