  1. This is a so lovely article!!! I hope you will have the same great time you had with your family. The story with the train is so great. Actually, I felt as if I was there 😀
    To be honest, I have never been to Goa. I prefer the traditional culture of Central India to the tourist places. And well… I live close to the ocean.

  2. I can’t tell you how much I loved this post. The old pictures of a place you have visited evokes a special feelings, difficult to describe. The vivid description is really commendable. Goa must have been really really beautiful before the tourists start flocking the scene..

  3. Goa has matured like a wine, I too fondly remember touring Goa from 1983, though officially and it was my favourite halting place whether officially or personally. Many a times we halted midway travelling from Mumbai to Mangalore. We loved the beaches, food served at Goechin, Asoka, Lounghnis, etc, it was exciting to ride across length and breath of Goa on a hired scooty. The last we visited Goa was on a Christmas day in 2013. Nostalgic is the word ! Thanks for penning your travelogue.

  4. Really enjoyed reading this and your lovely photographs i was in Goa as an English child from aged 4 between 1988-1992 i had blonde hair very unusual for the time and was treated like a celebrity. Thanks for the trip down memory lane Goa was a paradise back then and you describe it so well!
