I'm going to Goa (Cavelossim in Salcete region) for two weeks on Saturday.

Am I making the right decision? What shall I do when I get there?

I have no idea. Enjoy yourself? I'm going to Paris on Thursday. This was actually the wrong decision, but I'll be making the best of it, mainly by eating sorbet.

― Ellie (Ellie), Tuesday, 5 November 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sorbet is good. I wonder if they have it in Goa.

Pretend to be Richey to freak out gullible Manics tourists.

Why are you looking for things to do out there? Are you going alone??

I am going with my sexy boyfriend and know exactly what I'll be doing...

― Lara, Tuesday, 5 November 2002 11:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Nick, you fucking hippy.

There's internet cafes in any centre of population in India - you can ilx to yer hearts content - but you'll probably have better things to do.

I keep thinking (hoping) this thread will be about goats. Can it be, a bit?

― Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 5 November 2002 12:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Go on then. Play the goat.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 5 November 2002 12:13 (twenty-three years ago)

Holidays should be about sex and sun and booze and sex and food and adventure and being outside and running about and having fun.

I am leaving this thread of NO IMAGINATION.

I hope ur staying in a 4* plus hotel or u can look forward to cockroaches & lizards in ur room! I went to Calangute last year. Nothing can quite prepare u for the level of poverty in some of the areas. Cows milling around & lazing on the beach is cool tho! Sunbathing is always fun if u r white, as the locals try to take ur picture!

So how was it?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 27 November 2002 10:51 (twenty-three years ago)

It was OK. I brought back these cool spiders with red undersides.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 27 November 2002 18:10 (twenty-three years ago)

fifteen years pass...

Wow 2002 ILX reviews of Goa are not terribly inspiring. Oh well, going anyway.

Where are you going? It's a largely glorious place.

― Matt DC, Wednesday, 3 October 2018 06:59 (eight years ago)

Yeah, I spent a week or so in Goa a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it...

― Blandford Forum, Wednesday, 3 October 2018 07:27 (eight years ago)

I'll be in Panaji for a few days en route to Mumbai after a week or so in northern Kerala. Starting off in Pondicherry then cutting across to the west coast. First trip to India. Excited!

― mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Wednesday, 3 October 2018 12:38 (eight years ago)

Woohoo! That's awesome, let us know how it goes. I'm sure you'll have a great trip.

― niels, Wednesday, 3 October 2018 12:57 (eight years ago)

Awesome. Panaji is cool and interesting but you might find it hectic after a while (nothing compared to Mumbai but then Mumbai is incredible). You're just across the estuary from Candolim/Sinquerim beach, which is wonderful. Try and get down to Palolem or one of the other beaches right to the south of Goa as well.

A couple of hours' drive from Panaji there is a waterfall in the middle of the jungle which you should definitely visit.
