Goa - Day 1

 We had an uneventful flight from Jaipur to Goa. We landed, collected our luggage and went out expecting a driver holding a sign with our name. NOPE!  Hmmmmm my cousin had setup our rides for the Goa leg so I assumed there would be someone waiting. Turns out our driver doesn't have access to the airport so we had a deal with a local cab company but our cousin failed to mention that. No biggie. 

We loaded up our two SUVs overflowing with luggage and people and took the 50 minute drive to our villa. We arrive and the previous guests were just leaving so we were only able to drop-off our luggage, freshen up and then had to wait until it was ready. Luckily there was a nice cafe nearby that had AC as the heat and humidity was much more than all of our other stops in India. We quickly learned that Goan Indian Food tastes different than the Northern India food, not better or worse just different. While waiting for our villa our driver arrived and we took a trip to Morjim Beach to check it out and kill some time. It was so quiet and beautiful but a little overcast. We may have to come back to this beach. 



Villa is ready so we headed back to check it out. It was everything and more that we saw in the pictures.  I unfortunately didn't take any pictures in the house but you can lookup Jimmy's Villa Goa on Instagram if you're curious. 


We had the driver for a few more hours so we went to another beach, I believe it was Vagator Beach (they all get mixed in my head). Little busier but still beautiful.

Headed back to the villa and ordered in food. Was mostly tasty but very small portions. Beach Day Tomorrow!
