Leaving behind what happened yesterday evening, I decided to make a good start to the day..
First destination we covered was what we could not cover due to the rain yesterday evening.. Dona Paula.. locals call it Don-Paul :)
People in Goa dont get started around 9 it seems.. the streets are deserted and so are the tourist destinations.. the shops are yet to open and we find ourselves among a very few tourists at Dona Paula..
We roamed around Dona paula for some time assuming the shops on the road side will open and we can buy some things.. but it was past 10 and still people were not there and to add to that it was raining.. a slightly heavy drizzle coupled with winds..
Finally we moved from Dona Paula and visited Fort Aguada, pronounced as Agvada :)
Had heard about a beach close to the fort, so decided to visit the beach too.. Vivanta by Taj is at this exact location... Sinquerim beach...
Next we decided to visit the beach triology.. Calangute/Baga/Anjuna.. Calaugute and baga are very close to each other, while anjuna is just a bit further... the view from all three beaches are awesome ! Calangute is a bit more crowd puller than the other two..
The first thing I noticed at Baga.. the Gori Chamdi Fascination ! I just hate it when people gather around foreigners to take just one photo.. and here it was a photosession going on.. I really admire the patience of the girl in the middle who was happily posing in a bikini will all my fellow countrymen...
At the right most end of the beach there is a creek which joins the arabian sea.. its absolute tranquil and serene..
a resort just on the banks of the creek..
The view from top of the Anjuna hill at Anjuna beach.. There isnt a sand beach as such at Anjuna.. it is mostly rocky area.. so be extremely careful when venturing out into this ocean...
We decided to walk down and just soak in the atmosphere..
With the waves in full glory, i decided to walk up and get the filter just so that I could get this..
Things people do to get the thrills... some are absolutely crazy...
Day 4 ended with the north goa beach darshan.. it was a well spent day..
