Part 3 - Bangalore to Goa by car - Karwar to Canacona beach !

Continued from Part 2 -

After few hours of sleep, we were awake around 5 AM in the morning, hoping to catch sunrise. We planned to travel to the nearby Rabindranath Tagore beach. The feeling was excellent, an empty beach, open stretch all for ourselves where we could watch the waves, nearby mountain, and enjoy early morning weather !

Its such a wonderful feeling to be part of a town which wakes up late, and takes to life slowly. After being part of  Bangalore, taking slow approach to life has never been possible. After spending an hour and half at the beach we headed back to the guest house, and got ready to have a first glimpse of Goa.

Before that, we took a ride into the heart of Karwar town, for breakfast.

On the way, we went to a Lord SiddiVinayaka temple.

After breakfast, we met our fourth companion for the journey Dr Nag, who in real life is a tremendous personality, thoroughly entertaining, yet humble and down to earth!. It was his presence that added a new dimension to our trip. Throughout the journey Dr Nag and Arvind were involved in heavy debates on Human Psychology spreading across various topics, which ended only when we reached Arvind's home on Monday morning. Without him, our trip would have been ADHURA (incomplete)!

So we headed towards Goa Checkpost! Though Arvind was driving, Dr Nag, got down and wrote vehicle details / DL Number at the checkpost. It was already 10 :45 AM, but with Dr Nag as company, it was never too late. We had no clues where we were heading, but Dr Nag clearly knew which beach to visit. He immediately told Canacona beach. 

We reached Canacona beach , there was heavy crowd and found very difficult to park the car. Arvind managed to squeeze the car somewhere on the road side and we were off to Cancona beach!

We spent a good 4 hours on the beach. Arvind, Prashant and Dr Nag got into the beach, but somehow I did not get into the water. I really missed it, which is one of the biggest blunders I have committed. One more bigger blunder was I did not enter the waters even that day evening. I really missed it, but I got some pictures, which I might not have, if I had taken a plunge.
