Goa Trip - Day 3

After a real good sleep, we woke up on the saturday morning at 9ish and went for breakfast at 935. But it turned out to be a mess, with the breakfast getting closed at 930 only. This resulted with an argument with the manager and then he succumbed to pressure and finally agreed to provide the breakfast specially done for the four of us. Good hospitality :)

Enough of the beaches, we enquired about any waterfalls nearby with the manager. He suggested one Harvalem water falls, which was around an hour journey. We left for that place taking directions which were in the map and enquiring at many places, since the route to that falls was not that clearly mentioned. On our way, we saw a signboard showing DoodhSagar falls, and for a moment we thought we will ditch Harvalem and go to DoodhSagar. But since the latter was further an hours journey from a place nearby Ponda, we decided to go to Harvalem only and later go to DoodhSagar. We reached Harvalem at around 130 PM, where there was a temple(dint go) and a small waterfall, which was around max 50ft. But, this place wasn't that crowded at all, and we could peacefully take photos to put in our orkut profiles.

We left that place in half an hour and thought of going to DoodhSagar. But, as we drove, DS appeared to be not reachable only. We had our lunch at 4PM near Ponda at a Udupi restaurant - that was the best lunch we had in goa. Then, after a brief discussion, we thought of going to Colva beach, as we had got reviews from many friends that this was the best beach in goa and not to be missed. We reached Colva beach at around 530PM where a huge lot of people had gathered. It was totally packed and there was little watersports. The beach also wasn't all that clean, still I was wondering what was there in Colva ! We then had to drop the idea of getting wet.

So what next? Where do we go next? This was haunting all our minds. I suggested we go back to Baga, have a couple of drinks on the last night in Goa and doze off. But the other three were not in unison, and all were vouching for Palolem beach, which was in the extreme south of Goa. I knew this would take much of the time in driving and the evening would be wasted, but people didn't agree and we drove to Palolem beach. Me full modd off :(

We reaced Palolem beach at around 8PM and nothing much was there to do. As NCK was telling, there were a lot of foreigners who were busy in the shacks having beer, but what for us! Ya, could have done something if we had reached early, but no point at 8. We just walked thru the shore like lone wanderers for sometime and came back to our car and started towards Calangut. A good 2 hour journey. An evening wasted. Bad planning.

Back in my room, I ordered a port wine and hit the bed.
