I quite fancy it, everyone I have spoken to says it's excellent so I'm going

 

So experts of WW

 

When do I go, and where do I go

 

Will I live on tuppence a day and do they take cheese as currency or do I exchange some teabags

 

Ta

November to April.

 

Santana beach resort candolim

 

We had 2 weeks and spends were 700 for the two of us eating out every meal.

 

I love it!

I've been three times and stayed in Candolim, which is very good. Prices have gone up over the years, but you should be able to get wankered and fed every day for about £30 - that price will be a lot, lot less if you drink in some of the local bars like I tend to.

 

If you get the chance, go to Mapusa for a day, you'll really enjoy it there and it's cheap as fuckery as its not really for tourists.

 

Baga and Calengute are OK, but they've been over taken by the Russians a bit, and both resorts are a bit too loud for me if I'm honest.

 

Traf might know somewhere else other than Candolim.

 

Get over there, it's ace.

Be more specific

 

I'm thinking March, whats the weather like, how longs the flight, 10 days - 3 weeks what

 

Cost of eating out ale

 

Give me detail, I wanna book something now it's in my mind

If you do eventually book for Candolim, let me know and I'll give you the names of some of the cheap local bars that are worth hunting out

Match will be hot as fuckery, as it's only two months before the monsoons come in.

 

Flight about 8 hours

 

Ale, depending where you drink will vary between 20p and £1 - probably an average price would be about 60p for a bottle. If its spirits you're into, then they cost the best part of fuck all, you can get a Smirnoff and coke for about 70p~80p and that's a big measure

 

Food, you can get a decent meal for about £3 or £4

10 hour flight.

 

About 35 degrees in Feb when we went every day.

 

Candolim is great as you can go anywhere easily. Go north to anjuna and morjim beach. Get a taxi to the falls at dudsaghar day trips to old goa etc.

If you do go iv got 1200 rupees you can have. Should buy you a goat or two!

I used to work for a company that specialises in India.

Give them a ring and ask for Ste.

 

Can give advise on travel/accommodation and will also sort out everything you need all in one place (visas etc)

Goal is ace. It'd be acer without the Ruskies, but it's still ace.

Oh yeah visas are 90 quid each these days

Oh yeah visas are 90 quid each these days

That's quite a good thing, as it tends to keep he peasants out - the VISA cost for the Russians has just gone up quite a lot as well, hopefully that will put a temporary slowdown on their mini invasion and ensure they don't completely over run the place in the near future

In Goa they specifically bum gingers

 

You'll love it

Pound highest v rupee than for many a year

I'm going start of November, booked flights so far but that's it

 

Wanted to do internal flights to Delhi and get taxi to taj mahal but looks like a massive pain in the arse so staying south

 

Want to see a tiger and/or an elephant whilst I'm there

 

Maybe a boat hotel

 

Other than that am after suggestions and that

Don't touch the money. (standard procedure for most foreign countries)

Zico I did the taj from goa. Not difficult

Quite often they bring Elephants down to the beach. Charge you for taking photos though.

 

Have a Sizzler from one of the beach huts, they're amazing and the kitchens are spotless. Enjoy it, its probably the best holiday I've ever had.

This bit is probably a lie but everything else is the truth. They also take hefalumps up to Anjuna market on Wednesdays

Maybe they have a showroom kitchen then. I went in and everything was gleaming. They could have spiked me though to be fair.

A evening down at Kola/Cola Beach sleeping in a tent, we always do this, it's great - cost is about £50 per couple and that includes taxi there and back evening meal and also breakfast.

 

Last time we went, we also booked an evening on one of the rice boats, that was tremendous it cruised inland during the evening and then back again in the morning. Highly recommended.

Some are good and some aren't so good - either way, the food is generally tremendous and very fresh.

The beach beggars are lovely too. Once you've bought from them and refuse to buy more. They usually come over and chat as they genuiney enjoy your company and are eager to learn slang. Take towels, old footy shirts and bic pens - luxuries to them.

This. One i went in had a kitchen in the sand covered by a tarpaulin at the back of the hut. Was a fucking superb meal though! Even had a cow wander by through the hut half way through

Bloody Hell - over 100 Rupees to the £1 now :o  :o

 

There were only about 70 when I was last there 2 years ago - it really will be as cheap as fcukery now
