Goa has almost become an annual pilgrimage for us now. So like last year, we made a visit to Goa again, with a new set of friends. Spent a quiet day in Old Goa and visited Se Cathedral and Basilica Bom Jesus. Some photographs from this trip, with a new camera and same old set of eyes ..
Though the weather was very hot and crowds very thick, managed to get some decent shots of the place. I just cannot stop coming back to Goa again and again .. and to Old Goa ..

Thank You 🙂 .. Well I admit that the best season to visit Goa is the off season when there are not many tourists around. Try it, try Old Goa, Ponda and Margao .. you will love those places 🙂
Wonderful photography.
Thanks Rajesh 🙂
This place is so charming, so quiet… I would love to experience it someday, many thanks for posting these pictures Puru. I am truly inspired, the old world charm pulls me no end.
Go there once. Other than the Churches, there are also the temples of Ponda which deserve a place in your Yatra Diary 🙂
they look great 🙂
