Re: were has all the love gone

Hi Javelin, we arent staying at the Nazri on any of our visits this season, but one of the previous posters is staying there and I was interested to hear their opnion of it. We have looked at the Nazri before and were thinking of booking at one point.
We always stay at the Marinha Dourada, but this season we are staying at a private apartment, its going to be so strange :think

Re: were has all the love gone

Enjoy both trips Gemma and I'll post my honest views of the Nazri when I return. Seems to be lots of people on this and another forum who have booked to stay there so should be able to see some reviews before we go.

Visas arrived yesterday, at the docs next week re jabs so January is gradually getting closer :sun2

Re: were has all the love gone

Hi Bushbaby - we are going to be there for three weeks (well 20 nights to be precise) so our times will definitely overlap with yours.
See you in the bar? :cheers

Re: were has all the love gone

Mobor have you booked independently or package? We hope to get booked up when we return home in the new year but would like to have some idea of prices for next year. Have heard it has gone up a lot for the Xmas New Year period but I am sure we will still be there.

No they are not warned against visiting Goa, they are asked to be cautious as in many other parts of India. Always best to look at the FO website.

Re: were has all the love gone

Ah I remember it now.
Its worth doing from time to time. When I first arrived in Goa it was raining. There were no shacks up and running. We sat for ages on our balcony on our first night waiting for the rain to change from torrential to just dinging down before making a dash for it. We got further rain during our 6 days(?can't remember how long it was now)
Guess what- we had a great time. So don't panic- make the most of your time there.

Re: were has all the love gone

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

Booked a package with Thomas Cook. About £300 more than this year. Flight times not brilliant, but £1500 less than First Choice flying one day later.

Re: were has all the love gone

I still think Goa is a great holiday destination, OK it has it's bad points, but so have the other countries Iv'e visited.
IMHO it has somewhere for most people, I'm not going to suggest anywhere, as what I find attractive others might not.
It's just a case of researching the various areas, and what they have to offer. There are crowded beaches, but many more where you can find peace and quiet. Every type of accommodation you could wish for, and plenty of local transport.
Taking my rose tinted glasses off - yes it can be scruffy and dirty, but also colourful and beautiful. One minute it can bring tears to your eyes, the next fill you with joy - That's Goa.

Re: were has all the love gone

They say that "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" - some years back a friend living in Aldona said "come and see our beautiful bridge".........now I have never before heard anyone describe a bridge as "beautiful" (or since for that matter) but to her, and no doubt the majority of people in that area, this bridge was a beautiful piece of engineering and would also make life/travel easier for those living there. We visited the bridge as requested and as far as I was concerned it was just "another bridge" but hey what do I know :shrug....... However, got to say that although not particularly impressed with her bridge, or any other bridge, we certainly thought the views from it were beautiful.

As already said, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
