Landing in Goa was a miracle in itself now, especially after the whole 24 hour fiasco, which took place during our journey from Hyderabad to Goa. We thought we need to celebrate this achievement.
So, we slowly walked very very apprehensive towards one of the beach shacks on Calangute Beach. Would not dare recollect the name of the restro-shack on Calangute. If someone knows the name, please tell me the name of the shack, which is first when we descend the steps at Calangute Beach.
We ordered for Golden Fried Prawns and Pepper Chicken. It took the guy 30 mins to get the Golden Fried Prawns and even before we could say WOW!!!, the plate was all empty. We count the number of servings in the plate and we get the count of 7 pieces of Prawns. We thought atleast Pepper Chicken should be good and serve enough for us. I would not dare explain about it, else I might have to go through the whole stressful part again.
Skipping the whole pathetic part of the so called snacks at the shack, we shifted our place from there to somewhere worth while. As we slowly started strolling out of Calangute we notice a Chinese Fast Food guy preparing Chicken Lollipops, we were dumbstruck with the sight and settled down to gorge on the tantalizing chicken lollipops.
I always wanted to try out the Tibetian Restaurant on the Calangute but my friends were always “
No No, The Food Would Not Be Good There” Next time I am in Goa, I am gonna try out Tibetian/Russian/Israeli food for sure.
After dinner, we slowly started jay walking towards Baga Beach as we were too tired driving and wanted to stretch out a bit. We were walking on the Calangute Road window shopping or rather say checking out the hot stuff around and mind you guys, I am referring to the collectables and t-shirts sold around. Purchased a couple of T-Shirts as we had already used up 3 T-Shirts.
That was the time, when rain gods blessed us with a couple of zillion gallons of fresh rain water. Half-drenched the 4th time, we thought enough is enough. We cannot get drenched and keep changing clothes, this way we would end up purchasing half of the market and would need to rent out a truck to deliver the stuff to Hyderabad.
So, we quickly retreated back to the room to take some much anticipated rest as another was on the way to Goa and was expected anytime soon. He was to come by flight from Hyderabad to Goa. The flight got delayed by 2 hours and we thought of catching up with quick power naps, which never materialized and the devil lands in Goa. We ask him to take a taxi and drive down to Calangute Beach. Then the whole night binge was in store.
After a hurried change, we all huddle into the car as the down pour was still continuous. So we hopped into the car and off we were to Baga. Checked out the regular places like Tito's, Mambo's and headed to Britto's for some appetizers. Being not much of a foodie kinds, everyone on my ride were mostly option for good appetizers rather than sitting out and eating whole meals. They wanted to try out variety of food there.
Missed my camera a lot that day. The constant fear that rain might try acting funny and play around with my camera, then I would be doomed for ever.
We all retired to bed late in the night at around 4:00 AM and dropped dead as soon as we hit the beds. The itinerary for the next days was very much in place and we had to stick to our plan for the next day.
Planning to buy one of these for my camera. A sure protection for the rainy day.
