Well moving on from my Gujarat experience, I still have many more places in India to review, as you can see a hell of a lot in 6 odd weeks. My next destination was one that I always wanted to go to, even as a child, however only experienced it in 2005, we went to the beautiful and tranquil place that is Goa. I had always heard such great stories about Goa, the people, the landscape, the whether etc, and my family had gone many times before I was born, and hearing them bragging about their experiences only made me more determined to visit it the next chance I got. This review, will focus about my time in Goa, I spent four days there and managed to see and do a hell of a lot, ill try giving some tips about what to see and do, the culture and lifestyle, some historical background and so forth, like many of my other reviews, so ENJOY ...

Advantages: cheap to eat, excellent weather, lovely locals Disadvantages: some ares poverty stricken, visa costs £30
My best friend and myself visited Goa in March this year. It was our first time here; we had a fantastic time and would certainly return there.
Before we left
Before we left for Goa, we were required to buy a Visa. This cost us £30. We downloaded the forms from the Internet and sent them to the Visa office in London. Our visa took about 2 weeks to arrive.
The Flight
