    Landed late last night after delaying the flight from Hong Kong because we had no tickets from India... all ended well, luckily.
    Leaving for Goa today :)

    Stayed first night at "fusion". Was expensive (1400 inr) and noisy :/
    Second day moved to "shalom guest house", much cheaper (800 inr), quieter and lovlier in every way.
    Stayed there for 4 nights, but didn't connect to the whole beach scene. Decided to move on to Margao and from there to continue southward, but were convinced otherwise by the taxi driver we took, and he drove us to Colva beach...Read more

    Dreadful. The guest house was expensive shit for what we got. Boring, dirty, dusty. The first night we were there though, we met 3 guys (early twenties) from Hubli in Karnataka and spent a few hours with them, smoking (shit stuff), they gave us some (shit) rum as well, and forced us to take away with us a portion of biryani, even though we tried to object, because it was clear to us that we won't eat it (just because of the hour and the fact that we weren't hungry). We tried to get their contact info (I sent a friend request on facebook to myself from one of their accounts, but for some reason I didn't even see that notification...).
    But anyway we decided, spontaneously, to leave the south for another time (and come better prepared) and headed towards Hampi and then north...

    Arrived after a night on the "sleeper" bus. Pretty harsh night, but as soon as we arrived we knew we made the right decision, for now :)
    Something about the place's vibe, attracts a different type of traveler. We loved it immediately, and more so after walking around with our heavy backpacks, searching for a decent guesthouse, and coming upon a hebrew sign from Beit Chabad, saying you're welcome to leave your heavy luggage here for free as long as you're searchong for a place.Read more

    Cool weather (maybe a bit too much), amazing mountain views and as much good food as we can eat.
