Goa It is!!!

I got the Rs. 1 ticket from Spice Jet and booked a return ticket for 4 of us for Rs. 3500. I was super excited and I made the booking almost two months back. Since it was my first visit to Goa, hubby suggested we stay at North Goa. I researched and narrowed it down to Resort Rio. We got a good deal for 3 nights, which costed us approximately. Rs. 16k, which included breakfast as well.  Now that seemed like a fantastic deal, airfare + accommodation was  less than 20k for 3 of us !!!

I'm not going to crib about the chennai airport about the lack of facilities.. Grrr... I was quite petrified about how my son would be in the airport and flight. He was running around so much in the airport that he slept through the flight journey :D. We reached Goa and took a taxi from airport. The Taxis at Goa are very expensive. They charged us Rs. 1500 one way. I think the resort was around 45 km from airport, but isn't 1500 bucks still too much?? The road leading to the resort was bad that made me doubt my decision about booking a room there but once we entered, we found the place to be nice. The basic room was huge that we were wondering how big the suite would be. 

We immediately freshened up and took a cab from hotel to baga beach. Here again, the taxi charged us Rs. 250 for just 3 -4 km. That was such a rip off. We hired a bike and roamed around the rest of us trip. It was such a different experience, riding on your bike and checking out the city. Goa had such a pleasent weather. We dined at Britto's and the food was yummy. 

The next day we went around checking out the beaches, fort, shacks. Unfortunately, we were not allowed at Tito's, Mambo, Cape town Cafe and other such places, because we had a baby with us :( By the time it was evening, I wanted to check out South Goa as well, since I've heard the beaches are fantastic. We checked out the next day and made a booking at Leela.
