THE UNFORGETTABLE TRIP



DAY 2:
This was an awesome day. We hit the road early morning for Panjim, the capital of Goa. Panjim is indeed a beautiful city. First up we visited Dona Paula. This place is basically a view point. Spent a good one hour taking photos in all crazy poses possible. The drive to Dona Paula was a pleasure. Clean roads and greenery on both sides. On our way back we stopped at the Goa Science Centre. Well it might seem absurd going to a science centre in Goa but this was a famous location so we decided to spend so e time here. We watched a 3D movie here and gotta say it was amazing. It really was a 3 dimensional experience compared to lots of movies which claim to be 3D and disappoint.
Then we had a stop at CCD where we got the news of our semester results. We were here for a jolly time in Goa and exam results were the last thing we needed. We had decided in the morning that none of us would check the results. But when something is forbidden the curiosity to know about it increases. That’s what happened to both my buddies. Well I hadn’t bothered to check mine but what the hell both these guys were gleaming and I was feeling a little insecure. So I was the last one to see my results. But luckily we all did the exams well and nothing unfortunate happened.  So we decided to celebrate our exam victory with a movie at Inox. Sherlock Holmes 2 it was. The movie didn’t disappoint.
Time for lunch and this time it was the famous Delhi Darbar in Panjim. Amazing darbari food. Food is always good in this state. On our way out of the restaurant, we saw a bookshop selling books at 100 bucks. So we took a look here and ended up buying a few books worth 5 times this price.
Our last stop in Panjim was the Church Square where we spend some time. Our way back to Calangute was eventful. Half way through the journey, the second scooter went missing. We waited a while for him and as we were heading back in search of him he caught up with us. Guess what he was caught by cops for riding without helmet. He was fined. Now we understood what the biker who overtook us meant when he asked us to drive faster. The cop had missed us and he was suggesting us to escape his eyes. We instead thought he was mocking us that we were too slow. LOL…
Back to the hotel and then to the beach for some beach soccer and eye soothing…. Hehe… The dinner was awesome as always here. Finally got to taste pork, something that I had been longing for. But the pork vindaloo we ordered made us spit fire. It was that spice. I wanted to try the local beverage, Goan fenny. So ordered that as well, and I was glad we ordered just two glasses and not three…. Just two sips and I couldn’t take it anymore. Wasn’t exactly appreciated by my alcohol hating tongue…..
Day 3- the last day will be up soon.. Stay tuned…
