Hello Clinton,
Thanks for the information. It was nice of you. The main reason I checked the Lonely Planet was because that is the only country source I could get in place I am in. I do remember the place but never knew its name, as once on my trip to Bangalore I passed that way.
Thanks once again, and thanks for the informations you pass through Goanet.
Cheers and Compliments of the season
Jerry

Hi Jerry,
Like it or not, if Goa's going to have a 4-Lane Highway, Pollem will have its fair share!
Pollem, in Canacona happens to be the southernmost vaddo/wada in Goa through which the present national highway NH-17 passes through. The government plans to upgrade this highway from 2-lane to 4-lane. Pollem is also where we have the check post before crossing into Karnataka.
Pollem is a tiny 'not-so-famous' hamlet because it hardly has any 'touristic' interests. It's more popularly known by Karwaris who hop across the border for a quick drink and the many bars that have come up in Pollem due to the price differences of alcohol in Goa and Karnataka.
The next time you search for a place, don't ask Lonely Planet, ask a local. :-)
Clinton..
