Come on lin b ..GFF..and Gooner fan ..spill the beans you must know something

Hi there

we went to Arvalem waterfalls last Easter. It was nice - not a lot there though - we had a walk around for half hour - no other people there apart from one man having his wash!

Our taxi driver even questioned why we were going? Glad we went -but nothing really to tell you about it - sorry.

Last year the taxi driver took us to Lake Mayem. Not much there, there is a sort of park we paid to go in (only a few rupees). There were flower beds toilet facilities etc and on the lake were rowing boats/pedalos. On the road outside the park were a couple of sellers selling drinks. Nice view and peaceful, but we only stopped for about 30 mins

Thats the waterfalls with the monkeys isnt it.

I havent been there but the father in law did, said it was a good day, but the trek to the falls is a bit of a nightmare and decent shoes will be needed.

Went up to Maya lake last week, just felt like we needed to get out of Calangute for a few hours. To be honest it's not worth the journey. The lake was quite nice but there wasn't much there, the boats were not in use and the small stalls around the roadsides overlooking the lake were closed. We found one restaurant open but the table cloths were absolutely filthy and it made me wonder how filthy the kitchen must be???
Have a drive up to Dona Paula it's much nicer. Lovely scenery around that area, boats for hire a few market stalls (selling mostly clothes) and a couple of little restaurants. You might want to avoid Sundays because it's really packed. You can pop into the Cidade de Goa on the way for a drink in the hotel bar overlooking the sea. On the way back pop into Cafe coffee day on the Miramar Road, take a walk around the park or have a look around the outdoor art centre place.
