Goa - Land of free spirits

We group of five people took flight from Jaipur to Goa (Rs.4000) Arrived at Goa airport around 11:00pm then we were searching for uber ola cabs which were not available in Goa. Only Goamiles(govt. app) works in Goa which is worst cab service i have ever seen- charges were high & not available all the time.

Then we took cab from airport (Rs. 850 swift desire) and reached our homestay in Dauna paula in middle Goa which took 1 hr.

Homestay - Highland Homes Rs.500/peright, Breakfast was complimentary & too good.

Then we went to bed.
