As Gemma said the taxi will wait as long as you want. I would make a day of it get dropped off at the beach in the morning have a leisurely stroll along the beach or/and round the shops or dip in the sea and chill in a beach shack, have lunch either in one of the shacks or the wonderful River View restaurant which is on the bank of the River Sal and have built a pontoon onto the river. A perfect spot for lunch (and dinner) with a working fishing port one way a stunning river view the other, egrets, kites maybe an osprey in the background kingfisher's diving for their lunch nearby and a couple of locals diving for oysters from a dugout canoe oh and the food is wonderful. Then a bit more shopping and then watch the sunset in a beach shack with a cocktail in hand ahhh memories

Thankyou Gemma 33 and tightjock. i know there is a safety deposite boxes in our our hotel i was just wondering if it is safe to leave things in them passports etc. Are taxi's easy to find if you let your one go when you arrive somewhere?Where is Ajuna Market north or south. I love markets when we are away.
Anjuna is North but Margao has a great market and near to Colva having said that Goa is small enough to travel anywhere on a day trip. You can hire a taxi for the day or just one way and pick up another the cheapest way from Colva to Cavelossim would be bus followed by a tuk tuk (auto-rickshaw) 15 minutes and 100 rupees maximum.
It's safe to leave everything in the boxes especially passports etc.
Anjuna Market is in North on Wednesday, You can get a boat ride from The South and this usually includes drinks & possibly a BBQ. It allows about 3 hours in market.
If you have problems getting a taxi then all the regulars will faint with surprise.
It is usually cheaper to go both ways in the same taxi than get 2 separate taxis.

Many thanks you you both, Will probably just jump into taxi's to take us everywhere, never been a lover of busses. Really looking forward to this holiday will probably drive BH mad with all i have to tell him. Cheers
You have to try a Tuk Tuk at least once 
Ok you've twisted my arm always like to try new things.
I have posted a few photo's of our last couple of trips based in South Goa they are on http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/goanjock/my_photos if you want a nosey
Great photo's i can see why people keep going back. much appreciated
Sorry i have another quiestion, Will my husband have to pay extra for his visa as he an irish passport. Thankyou in advance 
G.E.L, no he dosen't, fee is set at £30 regardless, Tony.
Great thanks for the info.
Anyone know of a good tailor in the south we are staying near colva, dont mind getting a taxi, i have been told of a few in the north but was just wondering if there were any good one's in the south.
Yet another quiestion, can someone tell me how much a taxi would be from the airport to colva and also how much from colva to Ajuna market.
G.E.L, If you use pre paid taxi rank outside airport it's approx 520 rupees to colva. As for Anjuna it will depend on wether you want ac or non ac taxi, but will range from 1200/1600 depending. If you get a taxi driver you get on well with and trust and use often, your get it cheaper. We have used the same driver for the past 2 yrs and get charged next to nothing no matter where we go 
Thankyou G.M.T would prefer to try and use the same taxi driver. Just need answer about the tailor, seems there are no good tailors in the south, would much prefer to use someone local so you can come and go as you please instead of it taking hours to get somewhere. cheers
