The Unforgettable Trip Day 3

The most eventful day of the trip perhaps. As usual we got on our scooters early in the morning. Anjuna Beach was our first destination. So off we went. This was a different kind of beach. No activities here. Just a few rocks that extend into the sea. So clicked a lot of pics on the rocks. Last time I came to Goa, I was in love with milkmaid ice gola. Yummm….. So we tried ice golas on the beach. But unfortunately it was normal ice gola not milkmaid. :(
Then on our way back we spotted a water park. Though it looked small we thought it would extend inwards. So here we were after purchasing tickets at 300 bucks. And all there was in the so called park was just 2 rides. WOW…. 300 bucks down the drain. So just for the sake of valuing that cash we spent 2 hours in d water playing with a ball…. How awsome!
Again amazing lunch… I am mad about Goan food…. In the evening we went Go-karting. After a very very long time got on racing track. Believe me it is simply mind blowing. The thrill of driving at breakneck speed and overtaking the opponents. Nothing beats that. Just felt that it was too short after the race. I finished 1st among 6 drivers though. Maybe being a racer is not a bad option and I should probably  give it a shot. Every penny spent on that race was worth it.
Right next to the go-karting track is the Anjuna Saturday night market. This is again a main attraction in this part of Goa. You will find people selling all kinds of stuff here from pashmina shawls to fake branded watches. Some of the shopkeepers are foreigners. That was surprising.There is also a food court to satisfy your taste buds with different varieties of food. Did I tell you that my genius buddy who lost 1 pair of glasses in water before lost his new goggles on the race track.
Well after a round of the market and having some Belgian waffles and chocolate dipped strawberries and buying some stuff, I just thought why not check how much was left in my wallet. And perfect timing. I had the exact amount left to pay for the hotel. My 2 buddies were also broke. Great. We still had some to spend some time in Goa and get back. We had to manage all this with 400 bucks.
So we got out of the market as we had no cash to eat anything for dinner in our budge there. Luckily just outside the market we spotted a small pull cart selling some eateries. So we had a delicious dinner at 100 bucks for the 3 of us. Pav bhaji for dinner and also got stares from people eating there for asking how much an extra pav cost. Well I had to ask as I had to spend wisely now. Back to hotel after that. Funny how a cheap meal can also be so filling when you are out of cash.
