What we had missed on Day 5 had to be covered on day 6..
Ruins of the Church of St Augustine..
We reached there around 10am today, but it was still locked.. I have no clue if they ever open the doors.. We checked from all sides, but could not find any other entry point.. So decided to just click and move along..
Next was Santa Monica.. Not sure if we could go inside and it was written Private Property.. Instead we went to a Museum where I always get bored :)
Our lady of Rosary Church..
We spent major part of the day shopping.. getting t-shirts for people back home and a lot of Kajus :)
Took the GTDC Boat Cruise in the evening at 7.30-8.30.. It was ok.. not really worth a visit..
The floating casinos on the Mandovi...
I had seen this Church in the night before and I sooooo wanted to click atleast one photo..
Its the Mae-De-Deus Church at Saligao.. Closer to Calangute beach..
But going in the night meant the Church was closed for visitors and had to be content clicking from the parking lot..
Next day morning we decided to leave for Ganapatipule.. Its about 250kms from Panjim..
Road till Ratnagiri was 90% bliss and 10% patched... From ratnagiri we decided to take the Aarey-Warey road to Ganaptipule.. This is a must do route for anyone travelling to Ganaptipule..
Left from Panjim at leisure after having breakfast.. Reached Ganaptipule around 2ish.. MTDC had only one non-ac room left.. Decided to have a look at some other staying options but none could come close to MTDC..
What a view from the room...
Visited the temple and found no one inside... what an amazing darshan...
A visit to the waters is a must :) but be careful as the sand is really loose...
Last day was a uneventful drive from Ganapatipule to Mumbai... Started from Ganapatipule at 10am and reached Mumbai around 4pm...
