After breakfast we are heading towards Dona Paula jetty. which is at a walkable distance from where we are staying
Well I have a lot of memories attached with this place, about 20 years back from now when I was a Naval cadet in NCC, we stayed here for about a month and practiced Sailing. after training we started our ocean sailing expedition Sagar Sangharsh from Goa to Bhatkal and the flag off was done on this jetty. Feel so happy to be back to this place, the ocean sailing journey to Bhatkal was just amazing. Let me see if I can find some pictures too
joesph bar
We heard a lot about the joseph bar from friends and today finally visited this place. So So this is One of the oldest bar present in goa. Well I Love the rustic old school bar feels. This is located in the beautiful lanes of Fontainhas
This place is not a bar. It's a Vibes.The vibe is just amazing you feel relaxed and happy and the host is very friendly.
Fountainhas goa: Wow, I have never seen a city as colorful as this. So this is fountainhas. the speciality of this place is that the homes here are painted in red yellow green orange. its so nice and colorful, this rule was laid by portugues and still residents follow the rule of coloring thier home every year .The Vibes of this place is supper cool.
Maruti Temple Altinho hills
This temple is located on altinho hill ovelooking the river mandovi.. this temple is dedicated to lord hanuman, this is one of the most beautiful temples in goa. This location is peaceful and relaxing and during the night it would be stunningly lit up, and is vissible from the distance, the architecture here is beautiful.
