Bangalore- Delhi : Leg 2

Day 4: Karwar - Goa
Started from Karwar and drove over the beautiful Kali Bridge and entered Goa after undergoing some security checks. Filled petrol (45 a litre only !!).
Beautiful scenery all the way to Cancona, here I drove straight to Palolem Beach. Walked on the beach to a point where I had to wade through waist deep of torquoise color water to reach a point where I got an awesome view of the landscape.
Lot of foreign tourist on this beach but on the same hand not very crowded (maybe because it is a working day). Had lunch on a beachside restaurant, resting in the shade on cane chairs, staring at the sea while having an excellent meal with Feni.
Talked to a History Teacher from Kent, with my current aim to become a Social Studies teacher this turned out to be an interesting conversation
Drove down from here after lunch to Panjim and saw a beach there, had a Cafe Latte at Cafe Coffee Day at some hiked up price due to the Xmas season
Drove down to Old Goa and took a place for the night at Old Goa Residency
Read about Portugese in India from John Keay's book on Indian History
Day 5: Old Goa, Anjuna, Vagator and the Fort of Dil Chahte Hai fame
Saw the mass at Bom Jesus, went to the cathedral, churches and museum
Read about St Francis Xavier Life History
Beautiful Scenery and I trying to capture the same in words is going to be difficult
Had a meal this time with Port Wine.
Left Goa in the evening and took a place for the night in Kudal in South Maharashtra
Now it was time to read about Shivaji my role model for this leg :-)
Day 6: Kudal - Mahad
Day 7: Mahad - Pratapgarh Fort , Raigad Fort, New Mumbai
