Goa After another epic overnight train, this time sharing with 2 random and noisy Indian boys who were sleeping above us, and who seemed to take forever to go to sleep, and in a room with no doors just curtains with Velcro fasteners- we finally arrived in Goa. We were taken to our hotel in Candolim, however when we got there it was like a ghost town!

However, when we arrived we were extremely disappointed.
