My Goa Vacation
Been to Goa last Saturday, for my best friend Amar brother's marriage. Since goa is an excellent place for vacation we(myself,amar) extended our stay in goa by 3 days.
Marriage & Co happened on Saturday and Sunday(9th and 10th). I have donned the role of photographer during the marriage. Since we had time of Saturday evening, few people from our group went to Colva Beach.
Had fun in the beach, though it was a bit cold out there.
Marriage happened on Sunday morning, at a temple in South Goa. Then after lunch to moved to Hotel MonoSanthi. In the evening we went for cruise trip, where there was traditional Goan Dance and also disco. Went to the stage when we were called. (Kids, Couples, Gents, Ladies were called separetly). Though we were on water for 1hr. we hardly noticed as we were enjoying the music along with dance.
Monday, we went to visit some of the popular churches in Goa. Now i don't remember all the names. But in Xavier Church, body(corpse) of a priest by name Xavier is kept in chemicals, as people don't want to destroy person's body who as done good to people. But one hand is cut and taken to Rome, his birth place. In the afternoon, after lunch we left for Angana Beach. Not much at Anjana Beach, there is a fort beside the beach. So spent very less time, taken few snaps. Then we left for Colungute beach. People in Goa call Colungute beach as "Queen of Beaches". Played vollyball for sometime in the sea. Then i went for parag and motor boat. We enjoyed a lot and for me para-griding was the highlight.
Tuesday, all the family members(amar's) along with the newly wed couple left to Hyderabad in the early hours. We took a rented bike for two days. First we went to Aguda Fort and Aguda Jail. In the fort we have seen a woman who was gorgeous, and we took few snaps of hers. We though that Aguda Jail was an ancient jail and now a place for visit. But to our surpirise it is still a jail with prisons inside. So we took few snaps from outside and ran away. Later after lunch we moved to Baga beach, where we had treat for our eyes. Foreigns were mostly in 2 piece bikinis and competing with them few indians were also in short dresses. It was an excellent place for eye-feast. In the evening we had body massage in Kerala style. Though it was for the first time. It was good, not bad, just okay.
Wednesday, we planned for the evening departure. And left to Baga Beach for shopping. Did shopping for 3 hrs. Had lunch and we moved to airport in Vasco which is 33 kms from Panaji where we stayed. By 4:30pm we were in airport and reached Hyderabad at 7:00 pm
