This probably more than anything else. The rampant half assed "development". On a different note it's rained continuously for the last 24 hrs here in Goa and it's freaking beautiful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted August 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Well we can't blame BMC for Pune. The dams are overflowing. They had to release the water. Schools closed for tomorrow too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is always safe to not travel in this weather?. We can be sure at least one or two roads will collapse. There is also the risk of disease. On a serious note, If you witnessed the stuff that happened in Kerala last year you will never travel in this weather. The speed at which water fills up in our unplanned roads is astonishing. My dad just got out when the rains started and in 10 mins he was almost stranded in hip deep water. Thank god the rains receded for a few hours in our area and he was able to return safely.

Bird Bird Bird Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) You know rains have started when there's no electricity for over 8 hours (Noida). Edited August 6, 2019 by Bird Bird Bird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I anticipate crowds that weekend, because I found it hard to find a stay for myself and the rest of the family. If you find a place in South Goa along the Colva-Benaulim-Betalbatim stretch it will be relatively quieter since most of the noisier crowd ends up in North Goa. Either way wherever you end up it should be fun. If you have a car when you're here, your life will be sorted. Avoid the cities of Panjim and Margao, the traffic situation because of the poor road condition is horrible. I'd say don't even think about drinking and driving but then you don't drink so there's no problem there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted August 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Thanks for information. I have booked a hotel in Calangute already. I won't have a car, planning to use the bike rentals. Also planning for Dudhsagar waterfall. Hopefully will get cabs etc to go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabs might be expensive, but ask your hotel for the rates (they normally have cabbies who they have on standby) and check with some cabbies away from the hotel area. Rates are a free for all so bargain as much as possible. Check the self drive options if you're comfortable driving. The drive towards Dudhsagar is beautiful.

And a hut at Cassoi by Ciarans. They have a great romantic setup, quite lights, no loud music policy. Not to mention heavenly food. Most blissful holiday ever.

Walker Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Couple of days back was supposed to head to Panaji but decided to turn back as the road under contruction ahead would be hell to navigate. Also good to drive after quite some time. Enjoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomShade Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Indeed i also used to be all /comfy/ n sheeit in the rains, now from last year my terrace balcony fills up and the water comes in my room when it rains heavily for an hour or so, so i have to go out and throw buckets of rain water out. Now i have PTSD from the sound of rains, and possibly toe infection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
