It was my sem one, when I first had a bike trip in Goa. And now the second one, after a long time! ‘Me , Uday, Pranjal and Panda’

We got the Goa road map from net and decided our route, made a list of things we might need, and made a rough estimate of how much money we should carry. And we hired the bikes, the evening before the trip.

Luckily we got new bikes, one being apache (which had run only 68 kms) and the other being pulsar.

It was still dark when we left our campus. Mornings in Goa are cool these days, so we had our jackets on. Driving, early morning, is really sexy, and Goa is such a place, full of coconut trees and churches, and lakes that add more to the fun. And yeah..goan roads rock !

First site was Three Kings Chape. It’s on a hill with a view of Madgaon on one side and Zuari on the other.

We witnessed the wonderful sunrise from that hill. It was a scenic beauty, just like we draw sun coming out from behind the mountains! We spent some time there, plucked some mangoes (of course the small green ones) and then left for Kaserval Spring.

The spring really sucked, sucked to the core! (remember the Diskit hot water spring sucked too !) I don’t know why they have put it on the map!

The next spot was Dona Paula, which is quite a famous place in Goa.

After clicking some pictures there, we left for Panjim from where we sailed on a ferry to cross the river.

This shortened the way to Agwada Fort.
No, this fort is not the one shown in Dil Chahta Hai.

But of course it's similar to that !
It was a nice view from there. One can spend hours dreaming and looking at the boats, ships,water down in the ocean! Though, we didn’t become thoughtful there, as we had many more places to visit.

Next was Majorda Beach, and then Bagha, Calangute, few more, and finally Wagator beach. All of them run in series and a single straight road connects them all.

The beaches are really beautiful and intoxicating. Once you are there, you never wish to go back!

We did some trekking in Wagator, and then started our return journey.

We didn’t follow the exact route back, but covered Old Goa streets, churches and towers too!

And finally after dinner in Panjim we were back to Vasco, returned the bike, and boarded the local bus which dropped us at Zari and then a kilometer walk to our campus !

That day we drove 278 kms with the maximum speed touching 110km/hr. And my pillion don't know driving, so it was poor ankit who drove all the way, but still he enjoyed a lot, after all driving is his passion ;)

Lets see, when do we plan the third one, and of course I wish that, not only four of us, but all of our group go out together some day :)
