5. Food a Anthony's was good. One could try the barmans special for a different kinda drink.
6. At Infantaria, go for the Infantaria special (Rs. 210) or else it might be better to order breakfast a la carte. Plus do inform them how you like your bacon. They normally serve it rare.
7. Little Italy is located on Holiday Street between Calangute and Candolim. This is one place which closes at 11 pm. Please keep this in mind. Try to get in early so that you can enjoy a few relaxed hours there. One has to experience it to beleive it.
8. Also try Kamats at Panjim near the Church for some good old fashioned idli, dosas, pav bhaaji, chaat etc. Simple good food. Closes by about 9 - 9.30 pm.
I guess all this has been a food review so far. Now for places.
1. Spend full days on the beach under the million sun umbrellas. Carry sunscreen lotion. A good one. Get a massage with the lotion. Drink beer on the beach and a light snack for lunch. Some shacks have a shower so after a dip in the sea get the salty water off under one of these showers.
2. I found the boat cruise at Panjim a farce. No sightseeing and no content in the "cultural" show. Each of their dances was alternated with one from the audience - one for children, one for gents, one for ladies, one for couples, one for oldies, one for all. In the one hour show the MC called the audience to participate for like 40 minutes. Plus since the cruises are in the evening and as it gets dark early there is hardly anything that can be seen from the boat. Waste of time.
3. The night bazaar at Baga was worth a visit. The live performers at the bazaar were fantastic. Enjoyed a lot. The stuff at the bazaar was very expensive. Buy only if you are very good at bargaining.
4. Visited Dudhsagar Waterfalls. 75 kms from Calagute on the Belgaum road there is a place called Molem. From there one has to get off the highway and go to Colem which is about 6 kms away. At Colem everyone has to hire a four wheel drive vehicle for Rs. 1800 per vehicle or Rs. 300 per head. From Colem there is a 22 kms ride on mud roads in the National Park. This road passes through 3 rivers. Through the water and not over bridges. After reaching, there is a short hike to the waterfall which has a pool at its base. Good experience. Very worth it.
5. Spice plantations near Ponda on the sane road as the Dudhsagar Waterfalls. One can visit on the way back from the Dudhsagar Waterfalls. Lunch is included in the entrance fee of Rs. 300. Before lunch there is a short walking guided tour of the plantations where they show you a few spices etc.
6. Will have to visit Goa again to cover more places.
