Trip to North Goa

01-Jun-2013, Sejuti, Runai and myself are in KSRTC bus stand, Bangalore waiting for our bus to depart at 7:00 PM. We are going to Panjim (Panaji), Goa. It is raining very heavily. Bus started at 7:45 PM because many passengers were stuck in rain and were late. Once we started, we started playing dumb charades because most of the bus was empty and it was a sleeper bus. I mastered the art of the game because we played till 9:30 PM. The bus stopped in the midway and it was dinner time. After dinner, we again played for 1 hour and then went to sleep at 11:30 PM.

02-Jun-2013, we reached canacona at 7:00 AM and reached Kadamba bus terminus, Panjim at 9:00 AM. We straight went to an ATM and got some cash. Next we saw a hotel nearby and checked in. We asked the person in the reception about trip in north Goa. He told us that they have bus service which will do a whole day trip. We did not like it for various reason. Like I have to return back at 5:00 PM, also the places the bus will show us was mostly covered by us previously and in bus, we always have to be in hurry. So we asked whether we can get a taxi. He told he will arrange for us. So we went and freshened up and the taxi was waiting for us. We told him, what are the places we wanted to visit and he reshuffled it according to the preference. We headed straight to panji church and next was mahalakshmi temple. In front of it was Sri Radha Krishna Maath. For breakfast we went to a gujrati restaurant. The food was yummy. Next we went to dona paula view point and on the way back we visited miramar beach. Next after a long journey we went to fort aguada and on way back we saw our richest poor kingfisher villa. The fort is all covered by taj vivanta. On our way back we saw many hotels and resorts being constructed which are by actors and actresses like sunil shetty and etc. Next was our lunch time. It was a nice goan fish meals. Next on our way was calangute beach. It was places which was over crowded. Next we went to baga beach. It was a quiet place. In season time, it is the most famous place for tourist for disco, fun and sports. Next we went to Mae De Deus Church and it was 4:00 PM by now and we were back to hotel. After freshen up, I got dinner parceled for Sejuti and Runai and packed up bag and went to bus stand to go back to Bangalore.

03-Jun-2013, I reached back to Bangalore, but Sejuti and Runai explored Goa by themselves. They went walking in Vidhan sauda, next they went to ambedkar park and majorly they spent their time in old goa and panji conservative area. They prefered for goan food and some shopping. They were telling me hotel venite is the best place for food and we should visit the place for food alone. The bought souvenir like hand painted tiles, etc. Evening at 7:00 PM they too got in their bus and returned back to Bangalore.
