As it says was definitely an R & R holiday so not a great deal to report.
Anyway.....
Went with Qatar Airlines again this year, flight was on time and comfortable. The plane to Doha was an older one the entertainment wasnt working but never mind I had my faithful Kindle so sorted.
Second leg Doha to Goa was made up that the Kings Speech was available reallly enjoyed it.
Arrived on time and Arthur was there to greet us, luxurious cab, leather seats, air condioning bliss.
Got to Angelas Guest House around 4.30, kettle,water, coffee all waiting for us we are home!!!.
Sat up to watch the sun rise and everything and everyone waking up bliss.At 9.30 did our shop at Newtons, prices seem to have rocketed, nevertheless got what we needed so jumped in a taxi anf back home.
Dumped the shopping a quick shower then off to the Calamari, food was fantastic - their 'plain' rice is something special coupled with a lovely veg jalfreizi really hit the spot - OH had chicken tikka and really enjoyed it. Calamari became our daytime base for the next couple of weeks, never had a bad meal, mainly breakfast dishes, baguettes etc but always lovely and fresh.
We didnt do a great deal, b******** all really, went to Mandrem for the day, shack we were taken too was nothing special, sunbeds had seen better days but the walk along the beach was pleasant.
Restaurants - some good some not so good
Our favourites
Foxys Steak House - blimey what a find, thank you HTers, fabulous meal
Shivers - our apartment is next door so ideal. Lovely, lovely setting, food is fantastic, what it says on the menu though is what you get on the plate you need to ask for extra veg etc. ';My only niggle is their over attentive lady 'mein host' she means well and is doing her job but she is way over the top.
Tonys
Hurrah he now has a prime spot and every night queuing to come in. Yah fish chips and mushy peas and the extra touch 'would you like bread and butter' I almost asked for a mug of tea!!! Lovely fresh food really enjoyed it.We ate quite a few other places but this year these were the best -
Really enjoyed Jamablya, thanks for a couple of great nights Tom

The rubbish did get to me this year its a bloody disgrace, I am fed up of making excuses for them, its not a cheap holiday anymore and I dont want to wade through acres of garbage every day.
