Currently in Goa...Palolem to be exact, and it's bloody amazing. Like out of a movie. If you've ever seen 'The Beach', it's like that, except set in India not Thailand.

I have 3 days here in Goa. And although it looks small on the map I still had to make a choice - explore the north, or the south.

North is where most of the partying happens and from what I hear most of the tourists go. But I was looking for something more chilled and relaxed so I headed south to Palolem. It's 2hrs by taxi from the airport so a lot fewer tourists.

I'd definitely recommend this place for a honeymoon or romantic getaway. It's got a couple of bars which are 24hrs but most close around 11pm. It's more about relaxing and is very, very beautiful. I love it.

I'm staying at a place called Cozy Nook in a beach hut. My front yard is literally the beach :) It's considered premium here but at c.US$55 a night still very affordable.
