Dentists, Waiters...and Sex Police?
... of beach in both directions. Except for the evenings, when restaurants blast computer generated musical horrors in hope of attracting lunatics. Benaulim is almost certainly the quietest of what we've seen. There's going to be some debate in the Blue ...
Good Doctors and Not So Good Doctors
... the Blue Corner. They suggested that I see Dr Edgar – all doctors in Goa seem to go by their first name – in Benaulim town. Dr Edgar seemed more concerned about a couple of cuts on the bottom of my foot than the fever; wounds that had occurred ...
Stepping Back In Time With the Fishermen
... trees beside our cabinas and simply pointed, as if to say 'Palm, corner, what's the difference?' Despite a smattering of tourists Benaulim remains what it's been for five-hundred years, a simple fishing village. You really get a feel for the past when ...
Relaxing on the beach
Goa After sweating it out in Hampi we headed to the coast for some relaxation by the beach. Goa is one of India's smallest states, controlled by the Portuguese for a long period, with a sweaping coastline and a variety of beachside locations to choose ...
Moving up to Mumbai
Days 31 - 32 - Benaulim They say you'll experience some truly awful journeys while travelling and I've heard some stories that make me gag! Normally they involve bus travel (but undeterred, as I write, I'm sat on a 'luxury' sleeper coach on the 14hr ...
Last days in Goa
Days 29 - 30 - Benaulim For the first time since we left I'm pissing clear! I'd like to say it's because I'm realising the significant importance of rehydration but in reality it's because I've had copious amounts of Belo (Goan beer) to drink. We've ...
Goa - India
Day 28 - Benaulim Goa gets a rough press in the likes of the Lonely Planet and the Rough Guide for being touristy etc. While I have to admit that today I saw my first pair of Union Jack swimming shorts (obviously accompanied by the mandatory ...
What a way to Goa
We were a little nervous about our first Indian train adventure so we checked out Mumbai central station the day before just to see how the system worked. Here was the scene of the first shooting last November and the authorities had responded with some ...
Goan Goan Gone
Bikey (the hotel waiter) took a shine to Jelly (Gill). You're velly nice Jelly he kept saying and it was beginning to get on my nerves until true to his name he came up trumps and organised a nice Honda scooter at a bargain price to be delivered ...
Benaulim , is a bit odd
... suntanned crowd and find a bit of the beach that is less populated. Goa is full of fatties. Not sure why but we are finding Benaulim quite different from Candolim where we stayed last time we were here. There are a lot of old people here and not a lot ...
The attack of the killer crows
... close enough to a Tiger that one giant leap and he'd have been eating breakfast earlier than intended. At our accomodation in Benaulim we're (alledgedly) three hundred yards from a python infested paddyfield. We've gotten on and off camels that are more ...

Christmas Day in Benaulim
... walk back...! Back at the guest-house, we had a great natter on the balcony about our time here. It was a summing up of India really as we both came to terms with the fact that we were to leave shortly. It's been a fantastic time so far; ...
Last day in Benaulim.
... which wasn't nice, not sure a drunk Indian is that safe to be around. After a while we rode our bikes back down the beach to Benaulim, well i did , milo pushed hers. By the way the bikes were 50 Rupees each to hire for the day, about 70P each. So we are ...
Benaulim mit Holger

Going from Goa with Go Air
... fast to fit in. Like a freshly wrapped slice of mozerella, I sweat my way up and down the beach. I was relieved when I arrived in Benaulim to find that it was the place I had been searching for all along - peaceful ( in certain ways) and unspoilt. It is ...
Happy Christmas, this is the beach calling.
We hope you are all having a wonderful run-up to Christmas, we've finally arrived in India and have hit the beach in Goa. It's everything we hoped for- white sand, clear blue skies all day long and dirt cheap. We've found ourselves a place just 5 ...

Gone to Goa

Full on beach day today.
... of really old people coming here. I hope we still like Candolim when we go there on Thursday, because we don’t really like Benaulim that much. The Palm Grove resort where we are staying is very nice though, but it is a good 20 mins yomp to the ...
Surf's Up (Bit choppy during the Monsoon...)
... "Service 'til Eternity"! Twenty-seven hours later we waddled off the train at Margao and caught a taxi to the little village of Benaulim a few minutes down the coast. We'd decided to head to Goa even though it is very much the (monsoonal) off-season ...
Dont You go to Goa (Alabama 3)
