Disillusioned on visiting Goa?
Gilbert Lawrence
Those solitude-seeking visitors to Goa and those who dislike the crowds have options like mornings on the beach with sun worshipers and yoga practitioners; or enjoy the homey quaintness by a walk along the river banks seeing the mist rise and village awaken to the rising sun and the toddy tapper at his station; visits to the many nature preserves, spice gardens, bird sanctuary; or a walk or drive along the village backroads; visit the temples and churches displaying the UNESCO heritage sites. Throughout the year, all could dive into the dozen fiction and non-fiction books on Goa written by the natives. Frankly these are also tips for natives to suggest their visiting relatives to make their stay enjoyable and productive. In the monsoon, enjoy the sight, sound and smell of the rain in the moonlight, while rocking in a chair or a hammock in a balcao, searching for that flash of inspiration, whilst forsaking electricity and telephone.
Best Wishes,
