Diwali is a VERY noisy time of year - fireworks, firecrackers, and parties at all times of day and night. We had been warned of this, and so we decided to escape the hustle and bustle of the big smoke (literally with all the fireworks) to the laid-back paradise that is Goa. We stayed in Agonda in the quieter southern part of Goa and it was a perfect long weekend getaway. That being said, it was not without a few mishaps... jellyfish stings, ear infections, middle of the night hospital trips, run-ins with the police (no helmets on while riding a Royal Enfield) resolved with a bribe, and vomiting in the rollercoaster taxi ride back to the airport! Never a dull moment.
