Our honeymoon in Goa!
With all the chaos of moving to Bombay and searching for a house it took us a long time to organise anything resembling a honeymoon, but in the end it was worth the wait! Bogmallo beach was a welcome break from the city; the perfect spot to chill out for a few days.
We stayed in a nice 5 star hotel by the beach. Initially we booked beach huts (also managed by the hotel), but on arrival we were disappointed with an apparent discrepancy, let’s say, between price and quality. Amarsha made a few phone calls to the travel agent and managed to pull off a minor miracle; we were upgraded to a really nice room in the hotel for no extra cost :)
In the end I had a lot of fun, getting sunburnt and teaching Amarsha how to swim in the hotel pool. We took in a tour of Old Goa, went for a rather unique boat cruise from Panaji, sat on Miramar beach soaking up the sun, and even managed to fit in a quick visit to Vasco de Gamma. After our little break we returned to Bombay feeling refreshed, and at least a few pounds heavier from all the good food in the hotel’s complimentary buffet!
