Getting around Goa is very cheap. Lots of tourists and locals ride scooters, however the roads are very bumpy and not lit like roads in the UK. We tended to travel by taxi and our driver was a wonderful man named Nash, he was very reliable and informative and used to pick us up from outside our hotel, take us to our destination and wait for a few hours or more if required until we met up with him again. Costs for this was very cheap, anywhere from 300 - 450 rupees for the whole day. What an experience getting into Panjim during the rush hour ! Glad Nash was driving !!

       Anjuna Flea market always takes place during wednesdays at Anjuna beach. Here you can get anything from Motorbikes to beach wear to Jewelley to Goa trance Cds. Prices are 300 times high and you have to bargain accordingly. Evening there are Trance parties being organised at the beach shacks esp 'Shorebar'. Also you get to meet oher Travellers from across the globe and share your thoughts and experiences. A must see activity.

       The more people are found lying on the Goan beaches, the more you'll see fruit vendors with big baskets on their heads trying to make some business. They're generally not too pushy; they simply inform you of the variety they have and then they move on.

       If you are in the north and fancy a night away from your hotel...try Mandrem. Its only 25 minutes north of Baga...and a world away. Theres a couple of places to stay including River Cat Villa...some tented places too. Oasis serves great food...especially the seafish. If you want to see what Goa was like 20 years ago...this is the place...with the stars as your ceiling...a great place to chill out.
