We came back from Calangute, Goa on Monday. In the same way as last time in March, I would like to use the pictures as my trip report. (question of being able to express myself in language that is not my native language) Photos
The mountains are Western Ghats and the place we stayed is Wildernest Resort. When you look at the photos no words are needed.
The place with elephants is Shanti Nature Resort

Hotel we stayed was Silla Beach Resort - look at the pictures of towels on the bed
In the end of the November we found ourselves in the middle of the construction work, some of the shacks up, some just started, some in the middle of the construction. Tandoori owens were cold and new employees didn't know exactly what they supposed to do. Still, Calangute was more busy than ever, regardless the fact that majority of the tourists had not arrived yet. Sellers were desperate and the prices had a potential to go down all the way. Ingos market was closed (possibly question of bureaucracy) and Anjuna, by the words of the seller, many people- no buyers. But nevertheless - look at the faces on pictures and you understand, that we were in 7'th heaven and overemotional.
Just in case we decided that next trip will be later in season and we look forward to January 2009.
There has been some confusion with taxi driver mr.Sergio Fernandez.
I used his services for two weeks and I can assure you that he is reliable, punctual and nice person to deal with. We found his prices always reasonable and services in high level. He was able to change routine trips from point "a" to point "b" a presentation of local culture and lessons about the nature. I would definitely recommend him to my best friend.
Sergio, if you read this thread, I wish you all the best and I hope your little son turns up to be as good man as you are.
Wishing to all of you the same peace and happiness, we had for two weeks,
Argo
