nice report. Some interesting observations. You must be feeling the cold now after a month away!

Thanks Fiona - yes it's c-c-cold!

Forgot to mention in the report that we went to a meet up at Lazy Days on 6 Feb and there was just me and SWMBO. We had a great chat about Goa and then toddled off into the night! :(

:rofl
sounds like what happened when we went- we were on our own as well

Brilliant reading Roma, thanks.
Souymens kitchen is exquisite, isnt it. Probably my favourite place to eat. Ive not been in Bobs Inn for a couple of years, but I had a really revolting meal in there, it was just like a big plate of goo (I ordered a pasta dish) so I would never go there again
I bought an Idea lifetime sim card in 2006. Only cost about 200 rupees more than the other cards that last a month or 12 months etc, so its been well worth the extra 200 rupees.
PS. Yes I agree, the butterscotch brulee in Souymens kitchen is to die for, truely fantastic!

Really enjoyed your report, I was considering visiting Bob's Inn , because of the jungle Barry connection but may give it a wide berth now, I don't do rats :yikes
I am really keen on Goa and love everything about it , but like yourself would hate it to become another costa.

Nice read up Roma - where were you staying ? I know you used to go to my old haunt - The Alberquerque, just wondering if there were any changes there, or bigger price increases ?

Hi Spike - thanks. Afraid the Albuquerque is getting too expensive for us these days! I think he's milking it a bit because it is a great location and they do keep it very well.

We rented a small apartment near Bob's Inn. Gather you're in our old stamping ground at the Ronil Beach - we had some great holidays there but have grown to like Candolim and Sinquerim.

can i ask how much Albuquerque is charging, i often thought about staying there as looks ok.

Hi Stavros - I think a basic room (with fridge & TV) is currently 1400rupees - a bit cheaper in November and early December.

Hi Roma, stayed in The Sunset last year and booked in again for this year. Would love to go back to Alberquerque but time will tell ? Let me see whats going on and will report when back. As you say in your report - 'your opinion' on restaurnts - we found Flambe last year and thought the food and service were very good. 3 week on Saturday and the sun is with us !!
Cheers, Spike.

Enjoy it all, Spike - Soumyens kitchen is definitely worth a try and we were really impressed with Flambe! There's another Spike on the forum and that's why I thought you'd stayed at the Ronil - he posted on a thread about it but he's Spike with a number!! :oops:
