There is something mysteriously mesmerizing about the environment of Goa. People find it hard to explore the fact which propels them to party hard here. Inadvertently or rather luckily, the time we landed was post sunset and I could recall the famous tagline associated with Goa "where the sun never sets". The resort we chose to stay at was a magnificent property, surrounded by lush green fields and seemed to be an ideal place for discerning travelers like us who wanted nothing more than being in the lap of fun, excitement and contentment for the next few days. The resort was conveniently located in the heart of South Goa and a few minutes drive would take us to some of the most stunning places known.
Our unplanned itinerary mentioned nothing explicit about the places we needed to cover in a span of three days. Yet, we set ourselves for a fun day ahead and went off on bikes, scooties and whatever two wheeler we could get to lay our hands on (this is one place where you will find vehicles far too easily than even petrol and oil) to some unknown destination and ultimately reached a beach called Candolim. This is a popular beach situated about 14 kms from Panaji which may not be the most happening beach around but yet a traveller's paradise who longs for peace and relaxation amidst cool winds on a beach with an enthralling view.
The next morning was a bit lethargic after the late night joy ride and saw most of us getting up late. Though the welcome to a new day wasn't too encouraging as the early morning charm had given way to a more harsh noon yet we managed to beat that by outsmarting the weather gods and immersed ourselves completely
in the hotel swimming pool. Setting ourselves perfectly for a great day ahead, none of us imagined that it would be one of the best days of our lives. We visited the most happening place in Goa - Anjuna Beach which has gained its popularity owing to the night parties at Curlies. This place offers an extremely romantic ambience day and night and can aptly be called "a poet's delight". While the enchanting music sets up the tone up and would get you in a party mode, the cool evening breeze is sufficient to pacify and relax the soul. We placed our tired bodies on the shacks to avail the most pleasurable sight ever. That was our last night in Goa, so we made it a point to make the most of it.
Recollecting all those moments, after the euphoria, I am here, at the airport, stagnant. Can't believe that we have come to an end of a memorable trip, whose memories would remain etched in our minds and hearts forever.
