Long August weekend in Goa, a set on Flickr.

We went to visit Goa during the low season (Monsoon). Despite our fears of continuous heavy rainfall the weather was quite OK throughout our 4 days there - overcast and light drizzle at times.

We stayed at Lalit Goa, which was a fantastic change from the hustle and bustle of Bangalore with few visitors, beautifully landscaped surroundings and the waves of the Arabic Sea hitting the deserted beach.

Latter half of August is a real cluster of Indian bank holidays at least where I work here. Yesterday was Janmashtami, next Wednesday is Ramzan and next Thursday Ganesh Chaturthi. In other words, respectively, Lord Khrishna's (Hindu deity) birthday, end of Ramadan (I think) and Ganesha (Hindu elephant deity) celebration.

All pics as a slide show here.
