Unveiling Goa-Day 2

FRUIT VENDOR AT PALOLEM BEACH

It was 6:30 am when my eyes opened and what i could hear was mesmerising sound of waves which made me jumped off bed and opened the door.Right in front was wide ocean of blue and except sound of waves there was complete silence.The feeling was exactly like waking from some very beautiful dream and you found yourself right there.After staring at the beauty,seeing sun going higher,the vista kept me hypnotised for a while and then we started for our routine.

WATER CHANNEL AT COLA BEACH

9am remained our time to retire from everything and jump right into the ocean which we maintained for all 5 days of our stay.Swimming there was really fun,particularly when waves are continuous and giant.Once you learn to combat with it,that will be all yours.We kept swimming for couple of hours and then realised our hunger and made way to Havana.
COLA BEACH

It was 11Am we were completely ready for our exploration.First set destination was Agonda Beach.Roughly driving for 20 min we were right in front of a completely lovely beach.There were no one on the full stretch except 3 local kids enjoying the ocean bath.Firstly it was hard to believe the beauty of the place,even more wonder was that nobody was there to enjoy it(some how my heart was dancing in happiness for second reason :)).We kept walking to full stretch, feeling the quietness of the surrounding.After spending quality time there we started our heading for Cola Beach.Just after driving for 10 min there was a sign board showing arrow towards a "Kachcha Rasta" so we turned there and found path was really hilly,up and down and broken and realised it was going towards a jungle.No sign of liveware except chirping of birds,which made us sceptical about rightness of taken path.We made a deal lets go for another 1km and if we don't find anything we will return.So at the end of 1 km we did not find any beach but two Dio standing there.
Optimistically we ventured into steep glide and found a treasure hidden deep inside which took us in awe and made us thank to the Creator for creating such place.It was most........... beautiful beach i had even seen(including in movies and my dreams :)).I really started running like a kid in extreme happiness,which added some wings to fly.I was on the peak of my happiness to find such place.Seeing the terrain i could understand that there are more gigantic rocks than sand below water and its going to be really deep but our courage took us into the blue world.Waves were giant and violent,much more than where we were swimming daily.Current was strong to pull us deep but our enthusiasm kept us afloat.Once we were tired swimming,we found a natural sweet water lake on the other side which looks so inviting for a swimmer like me so in no time i was inside water,refreshing and very welcoming.After swimming we did kayaking and made friend with small Swiss girls Kiara and Sally (those kept swimming underneath our kayak) so we took them to a kayak ride for the lake.

ON THE ROOF OF CABO DE RAMA FORT

Next target was the fort(Cabo de Rama) where nothing remained except broken walls.We climbed up on the roof and  got view of Arabian see which was breathtaking .

UNKNOWN VALLEY WHERE WE SPOTTED DOLPHIN

So by now it was nearly 5pm and sun was starting gliding.We started back for Palolem.On the way back, just little off route we found a huge grassland which looked beautiful to get some different landscape but when we reached  the end we could see a very beautiful valley right below which was completely unmanned and unexplored.Again this place took us to surprises,we kept admiring the blue from the top of this valley and suddenly we heard a big doop sound in water and what we saw was unbelievable.It was Dolphin swimming right there below."Oh my God,how many surprises this land has for us" i uttered.so now sun was setting and we started back............again in night after dinner it was time for beach walk and breathing the beach air ..........so that's how my second day ended...........but story continued............
