Myself and two of brothers we have visited Goa from Oct 2nd to Oct 6th and it was fantastic long drive we ever had and it was amazing.
We started off on Oct 1st night 9 PM and we reached Gulbargh around 1.30 or so and we halted there in one of our brother room and again we have started back from Gulbargh to Bijapur and then Belgoan via Amboli reached Panaji and we had a reservation at Mapusa in an hotel and we dropped there around 12 AM midnight of Oct 2nd to be precise on Oct 3rd.
Goa was an amazing place which has beauty of palm trees and know fact beautiful beaches.
The beaches were pleasant and they lost the hygiene atomsphere it used to have earlier.One thing which has made me sad was that few of the beaches have been given to the corporate hotels which has built up their hotels on the beaches and we have lost those beaches.
Palolem beach has impressed me a lot and I have carried lots of memories from there.
