Phew.. writing this Goa travelogue took more energy than packing my bags and spending those awesome days out there!! š
- Portuguese live on.. Goa part 3
- Churches temples and peopleā¦ Goa Part 3
- Strangers and beachesā¦ Goa Part 2
- Sun sand and the beaches.. Goa, part 1
the South goa tour then took us to the Colva beach .. This has to be the most favorite beach of mine in all of Goaā¦ so beautiful.. calmā¦. the sand was wet and flat like a well laid out cement floor, and it was just woww!!!
This is where i decided to give Water scooter a tryā¦ what rush.. wanted to do parasailing, alas, too crowded and time was up by the time crowd fizzled outā¦ ! Always a next time!!
The ripples formed by a small stream as it joined the ocean
A lone star fish..
next time i shall!!
Moiā¦ got a guy who was with his family to click, turned out he was a professional photographer and one who wasnt too crazy about SLRsā¦ āI dont know when i last use an SLR, he said parting waysā¦ā!!! š
Following this came the romantic, beautiful,mystical cruise on River Mandovi, in Panjimā¦ I had paid for this while booking South goa tour, the cruise was just Rs150/-
We reached the dock at 5.30, hopped on the cruiseliner, explored a bit, before making our way to the top, open air, with chairs laid out, and a view to die forā¦ The cruise was for an hour, there was a Dj belting out some famous numbers, a dance floor, and an MC who kept the crowd entertained.. Oh, we witnessed a few popular local Goan dances as well ā¦
Not just these, the vessel had a Bar, snack counter, a discotheque in the basement floor as wellā¦ Good funā¦!!! a new kinda experienceā¦ one that i enjoyed like crazyyyyyyyyyā¦. !!! š
The moon shining bright in the skyā¦ Ahh, what a sight it wasā¦
The following day was free.. infact that morning, got a call from Fernandez asking if i wanna do one more tour, but declined his offer as i wanted to explore some of the town on my ownā¦. Set about walking along the road near the hotelā¦. Found this place called Calizz, kinda like our Dakshin Chitraā¦
Check out pictures here [we arent allowed to take pictures inside the buildings]
My entry ticket..Rs200.. but totally worth it..
They have restored couple of housesā from Pre and Post Portuguese erasā¦Lovely stuffā¦ to look at how people lived before and after.. The guide Kunal made is so interesting, i was lapping up every word he utteredā¦
After an hour or so around here, i took the bus and headed to Anjuna market to generally chill outā¦ A friend had reccomended this place called Curlies, quite nice.. Lounge kinda arena, sit back, wit a book in hand a breezer.. sheer bliss!!! š
The loot i brought home from Goa.. [Sri, here it isā¦ :D]
