After a hot dusty week of work we headed to the beaches of north Goa for a little exploration and R&R. We stayed at a magical (and hidden) little resort on a spit of land near the town of Mandrem. (The clue is in the post title.) The food was as amazing as the place and if I told you what it cost the extra airfare to get to India might start to seem like a bargain.
