Splashdown at Anjuna !

Cooling down

Last Friday, we spent the day at Splashdown and had a great time, especially daughter who enjoyed playing in the water slides.

The water pools (4 in total) are safe as the water levels are very shallow. These pools are manned by lifeguards, though the risk of drowning is negligible.
There is one big pool – Tad pool for children with 3 big water slides (one of which is named Tiger’s tail) and 3 mini slides for toddlers.
And then there are three bigger slides –which are not meant for kids but for elders (teenagers included)

Check your height

One can lounge by these pools in the shaded seating area and pick up some goodies to eat at the Splash café.

In brief Splashdown is a small, neat, less crowded and well maintained water park – a place for family and fun !

Beach Capital of India !

It’s March, and the temperature is soaring, where would you like to head for the weekend? To the cool waters of Goa – the land of Sea, Sun and Sand !


Stretched over a coastline of 106 kilometres (66 miles) Goa boasts of 32 beaches, freckled with swaying coconut palms.

It has also been called Pearl of the Orient and Rome of the East, signifying its natural beauty.

As per the legend, Goa was called Gomantakesha, created by Parshuram (an avatar of Lord Vishnu) to resemble a winnowing pan. And this was achieved by ordering the mountains to recede and the sea to advance – nature’s wonder ! It was also known as Kashi (Benaras) of the South.
