I love it. Very cosmopolitan for India. Lots of euros holiday here this time of year.
Climate is mild in December. Stays around 30, not too humid. Food is fresh, good & cheap (as is the booze) Beaches are long, palm fringed & tropical.

There is quite a difference in the areas you can stay. The beaches near central Goa are very crowded & surrounded by clubs, not much different from Bali but the further north or south you go the quieter it gets & more alternative. I'm in Mandrem which is super chilled & full of Yoga retreats & little beach shack cafes. Further north there is Arambol which is more your classic hippy backpacker vibe, people blazing up hash joints in the cafes, lots of music & dancing.

I love it because I can eat like a king for next to nothing, ride a motorbike along the coast without a helmet & wear nothing but shorts & bare feet everywhere including out for dinner to any restaurant. I believe they do sophisticated here too ;)

Sounds brilliant mate, think I'll commit this to memory for future travel plans.

Thanks E. You have convinced me to visit the sub continent (something I have been very curious about).

Felz Natal to all.

Didn't think anyone would make me wish I was anywhere else this Xmas seeing I'm in Buzios in Brazil (few hours south of Rio) but that was a freakin nice summary. Enjoy Mr Shed.

Take care all, stay safe, stay purple.
 
Christmas comes around again and good cheer and much merriment abounds.

So what is everyone drinking/eating? This evening it is fruity champagne (ladies choice) and some wanky finger food/nibbly bits. Tomorrow - Bloody Mary's shifting over the 16 year Lagavulin and a full traditional English Christmas lunch.
