BAGA - Chapora - BAGA

CHAPORA FORT

By 17:45 we reached Chapora. It's a steep climb to the top of the Fort. But the views are rewarding. We have some special places there behind the fort where we get down and walk to the edge of the cliff. The feeling is amazing. Allmost 270 degrees of water. On One side the Sea and Beach of Vagator, the other side is the beach of Morjim and the Chapora river joining the sea.

After our sunset views from Chapora fort, we drove to Brittos at Baga. Had a heavy dinner of Lobsters, Tiger prawns, Steaks, some pastries etc.. Brittos don't accept cards, so carry loads of cash before you sit here to dine.

Purchased a lot of silly stuff from the beach and reached the resort by 23:00PM.

After some fun discussions and topics we retired by midnight.

BAGA - Morjim- Calangute - BAGA

After a very happy sleep, we woke upto a lazy day by 10:00AM.

We had some colourful stuffs for breakfast at Coffe Day




We then took our Dios and drove on to our favourite calm beach at Morjim.

A ruins enroute.


The location of Morjim


The Chapora river joins the sea here. You can see a lot of birds here. You can also see the Chapora fort up the hill



Why do we like Morjim? Well the answer is pretty simple, it a calm and beautiful beach away from the crowd. You can have the entire beach to yourself. You can drive around the beach if you like.




In October 2008, Civvy did a drive here :)











An now in October 2010, we are back with our Dios.

Settled into a cozy sea facing table at St. Anthonys and odered our lunch. Had a great spread of sea food and we took nearly 2 hours to finish our lunch :)

By 16:30PM with our tummies full, we took two beds on the beach.



It was nice to get the breeze and rest after a nice lunch. The girls went for a walk after an hour.

BAGA

Karaoke night was fun.

Guys were singing to glory.


This guy was the most memorable, sang well and a lot


Fianlly every body was tired singing, so Shakira took over with Waka Waka, and the guys took to dancing.


We enjoyed the night and the fun and munched away another heavy dinner.

By 23:00PM we reached our resort and the Dio guy was promptly waiting for the scooters. Said a thank you to him, handed over the scooters and we crashed on to our rooms.

Yay..Hotel Suraj, made me remember my college days. There is one more Punjabi dhaba and Tikka Hut. You should tryu chicken @ Tikka Hut. One of the best I ever had.

And the beach with Light house that's our college's private beach. my dept. is on the beach :). And the Love birds they are from mangalore who usually come during weekends. NITK guys will mostly be found lonely of in a gang of guys, can't help its a bad ratio therelol:. Thanks a lot for the memories.

Next time I'll try the Tikka Hut
Regarding the ratio :uncontrol, How is the current trend? worse?:D
