And Goa happened…

Phew! it was quite a task. Earlier this year, Jyoti planned a nice little vacation for the three of us in Goa. It was a great trip, we got off at the airport and were greeted with a car, which I then proceeded to drive around all over Goa. At least it seemed that way. At the end of the vacation I had driven at least 1500 kms so I guess we did cover a lot of ground.

We started by going to North Goa and stayed in Baga for a few days and then into the more dense forest area at Molem and ended with the calm and serenity of South Goa at Sernabetim. Trip report is on Jyoti’s blog.

One of the things that was also planned, was to look at the possibility of buying a small apartment, which we could use as a get-away home.

We did get a little bit of a break here, when our neighbour from Gurgaon told us about a friend wanting to sell his apartment. From that initial meeting to almost three months, several emails and phone calls we finally managed to get the place.

We are now the proud owners of apartment 211at Las Palmas, Arpora, Goa.

There were a lot of anxious and tense moments for all involved, with the lawyers and banks asking for all kinds of papers, but it finally concluded.

I was too tired to take photos and Jürgen who was carrying a new camera was very willing to use both his own and my camera so we got some shots of the place.

As Jyoti put it, we are now Bhargoans ;-)

Thanks, Candy - It sure seems to be a long time, took three months of hard work. We all deserve a party. As soon as the place can be setup we will do it.

Goa remains as an endearing and charming scenic location with enchanting beaches, many churches, temples, array of old houses having Portuguese architecture and evergreen hills. A Tour to Goa must consists of exploring the sensual beaches and historic forts that have kept alive the legacy of Portuguese. Goa Tours and Goa Tour Packages is designed to explore the mystical charisma of the remains which is exotic. It is a promise that the indian goa excursions or holidays add a few golden moments in your live with immortal memories of goa.
