North Goa, India
I was in India for the first time, in general, the impression is ambiguous, this country did not leave me indifferent. . . I will definitely be back. We flew back and forth with Aerosvit on a direct flight (we were lucky), although our flights were delayed by 5 hours. There are no questions about the hotel: the rooms are clean, rooms are cleaned every other day, the staff is friendly, but slow. It is not worth changing money at the reception, they greatly underestimate the exchange rate. In the restaurant, of all the food, I ate only scrambled eggs and potatoes, the rest of the food is spicy. . . it is impossible to eat, juices are delicious, not like in Turkey, instant coffee from bags or "natural" from chicory, in a word, take coffee with you - there is an electric kettle in the room. As for excursions: the guides offer excursions at a high price, but the service is not the best, we had a terrible bus, it’s better to take a hotel at the reception for 30% cheaper, or you can also take a taxi, for example, to a spice plantation for $ 15. , and the guides for 45 dollars. here's the difference. We went to the beaches by taxi, every day for a different one, the taxi drivers suggested where the Russians were and there were no wild Indians. We ate on the beaches in necks (cafes), they cook very tasty seafood, be sure to try the Old Monk rum for 2.5 dollars. bottle - and as a souvenir you can bring home.
