My Trip to Heaven! :) GOA!

   I am living in Coimbatore, which is the Manchester of South India. I have got few amazing friends. I was in my first year of college and it was pretty good. One day i had gone to watch a Tamil movie which was called "Goa" and after watching that movie, I and my friends decided that we ll surely go to Goa and have a wonderful time.
     
Initially we had decided to go in the summer vacation, and we had to convince our parents at home for money and stay in Goa. We had searched for it in websites like makemytrip.com etc and finally we stayed in a decent hotel with good facilities.

 Journey Begins :)
     It was 4 of us. And everything was ready, tickets booked and hoping for no last minute cancellation *fingers crossed*. We had left to Shornur (a place in Kerala) and there we got our train which was Okha express and reached our destination Madgaon, then we had an hour journey towards Calangute. We stayed in Ondas Do Mar Beach Resort, which was close to the Calangute beach, is just an extension of Baga beach and had checked in for 5 days.
St Francis Xavier Church

    The first day we had gone to see the Church which was St.Francis Xaviers Church which was built in the 16th century. It was a massive structure which had very old artifacts. Then we had food in a local restaurant, and went to our hotel and had a nice swimming session after that we steered ourselves to Calangute beach which was beautiful.
By the night we were aimlessly loitering in search for some more fun, but then we visited a local pub, called Rio, It didn't give us what we wanted.   

    We wanted the second day to be adventuresome, So the second day we decided to go for adventure sports and we did. Para-sailing was the best experience. Banana boat ride, Jet skiing was also good. Then in the night we decided to go sailing in a cruise which was called "Princesa". There was a tribal dance and they showed us all the exotic places which were pretty nice.



  
   Third day, we had been driving across and it was tough to find a petrol station in Goa, so we had to purchase it from a kirana store who sold for twice the prices. Then we found one petrol station around 10 kms away and fuelled it and then we went to see the Fort Aguada which was in the Sinquerim Beach. It was a fine structure built by the Portuguese.

Then while we were returning back to our hotel we saw a poster that there was a live concert which starts of by 7.30 @ Miramar and K.K was the singer and we planned that we will surely go for it. And we reached the place by 8 it was crowded and i was amused and we had realised that we dont have the passes to go inside.
And we were waiting outside hoping someone could help us out, we waited for a while and thought we should leave and all of a sudden there was a person who shouted "hey you want tickets" and i said "yes sir, how much is it" he said "its free Go! Enjoy" And there it was K.K singing all his super hit songs.
That was a beautiful night! :) 
@ Tito's :)

 But the night wasn't over yet. It was 11pm and we head to Tito's which was an electrifying experience.There was a dance floor and the music was mind boggling. We danced and grooved all night and it was a nice experience.


Relaxation :)


 Fourth day: We usually had our breakfast in our hotel and then lunch and dinner outside. And as usual we use to go to beach and rest in the beautiful sands. The day was usual and then night we had gone to Baga beach, which was lively in the night and we had our dinner there watching T20 finals England vs Australia.

 After watching the match we were walking on the streets and i met the comedian Srikanth Maski and clicked pics with him. Clicking pics with a celebrity is rare chance and we got that chance. And then our beautiful time in Goa had come to an end. Next day morning we checked out and left. Did not feel like leaving this beautiful place but had to :(

I had the best experience of my life. Goa is famous for its Beach, Resorts, Sea Food, Clubs and Casinos.
"Goa surely one of the places to see before you die".
