Goa, All mesmerizing from Waters to Food to Vegetation Jan 2011


We landed at Goa International Airport  in Dabolim, Goa, India. We immediately hired a cab for a South Goa Resort Royal Goan Beach Club Hathi Mahal, who had arrangements with our Grand Hilton Vacations Club. Our 'Villa' had a pool side location with top class service. At the doorstep of the resort, every grocery item from onion to Bread-butter to Mineral water was available. The resort of had their own 'Mini Bazar' open 24 hours



Amazing Flower Decorations!


Gysered waters


Clean with white sands


Today the decoration was really attractive


Resort Entry



Evening Time at one of the Beach Shacks



The picturesque Sun-Set


The sunny South Goa Beach



The Portuguese might have gone, but they’ve left behind a love for the good life in Goa. Meaning “Relax and live a little”  as they say in local Konkani.



OMG!  handy Pedicure so inexpensive on the Beach itself.




Room Decor in our Suite


Meditation in a Temple


Coconut toys!

Coconut decorations at 131 acre Organic Herbal Farm. Had the best Buffet lunch on the trip



Another tiny sculpture!



Wished I could buy this Elephant, both our son and Grandson are keen to have an Elephant as a pet in our Farms in Punjab. I did the first enquiry, it did not cost fortune though(20-25 lacs), but the upkeep was too high.




Gurdwara Sahib, Panjim. No carpets in view of hot climate or may be there was no service at the moment we visited. I was told that there are only 50-60 families in the area. They have  done a wonderful job to build such a Magnifiscant Water Front Gurdwara Sahib. It was so cool and peaceful here.



Cloudy afternoon.



The driver snapped us in an excellent mood.



The resort at evening time.




Waiting for Dinner at The Leela Kempinski Goa, in the neghborhood of our Resort.The Hotel is set in Typical Portguese style. My half Pant would prevent me from fne dining at 'Jamavar', had to go for easy dining at 'the Cafe'. Harvinder was amused.
The service was out of this world.



Home away from Home!

Dolphin Dance Show. Amazingly snapped by Harvinder by her iPhone. This boat trip really made our day
