Three Kings’ Church

Goa is a place where one gets the relaxation they need. It is a place of serenity. It is a place with beautiful views along with the sound of waves crashing giving the most soothing feel. The touch of the soft sand underneath the naked feet, removes the fine line between the sand and the underlining of the feet, making it all one.
