Day 3
1st January 2013
We sat down at Agonda Sunset Shack
Veg Sizzler
Steak with chips and Salad
Fruits It was yet another candle light dinner. We had a lot of Russian guests for company all around, in fact we were the only desi's there :)
By 20:30 we finished dinner and started back to our resort.
Agonda has huts like these for a back packing tour. One day I must do this.
By 22:00 hours we reached our resort and I straight away crashed to the bed.
It has been relaxing two days with nothing to do other than eat, sleep, swim, shower and sing.......
Day 4
2nd January 2013
By 11:00AM we are done with the packing and check out.
A final look at the poolside
By 12:00 we reached Margoa. I wanted to take the Ponda route towards Mollem to visit Bhagwan Mahaveer National park.
Just as we took the route to Ponda from Margoa, we found a Dominos.
PPGs were excited about it :) Jr. PPG brings in the pizzas
Sr. PPG enjoys her veggie one This one is mine :D
By 13:00 we are done with the Pizzas.

Day 4
2nd January 2013
By 14:00 hours we reached Bhagwan Mahavir National Park
More details can be read here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhagwan..._National_Park
I enquired about the scheme of events there. The concept is that of an open sanctuary. You can drive your vehicle around the marked trails and have sightings of wild life. High Ground Clearance vehicles are better in those kacha roads. I took directions of Tamdi Surla Temple and drove towards the temple.

WOW Goa again . Just saw the posts. Verca lucky you got the booking plus just a casual ride and you guys are in Goa :D. We need atleast 10 days to plan a road trip like this from Delhi. I was in Mumbai on 5th was tempted for another Goa trip, kids schedule didnt allow !

Was in Wayanad to meet HVK, and the drive to Goa was a non stop from there :D
Varca has lost its charm. The guys there were overworked thanks to the demanding guests, that they were like zombies...I decided to just chill and relax and have fun at Agonda this time.. CM was just for the bed :uncontrol
Yes, they have one more. The New year party was at Varca, which included the guests from the other place too.
Day 4
2nd January 2013
After filling up petrol from Mollem started our drive to Bangalore. I took the route towards Dharward. The roads were getting laid and most of it was fun to drive. But there are very treacherous sections quit often. May be it needs another 6 months to be fully done.
A click of the newly laid roads Video of the fun roads http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPmVIN4B4jE
By 18:00 we reached NH4 at Dharwad. By 21:30 we stopped for dinner at Kamats and restarted the drive by 22:30 hours.
Reached home in Bangalore by 00:00 hours. Well that makes it 7 hours of drive from Mollem to Bangalore. Not bad at all given the umpteeen deviation on NH4 these days.
It was a cool 20 degrees at Bangalore Total of 2922KMs for the drive. Civvy has done 88K by now clap:
Bangalore Goa and back is around 1300Kms, but then where did I go for the other 1600Kms?? Well one day I will tell that story too...
But for now it's good night time.
The END.
Thanks for reading
First weekend of January 2013, I was invited by Lukeskywalker to an event where I met with many of my TBHP friends. While having coffee with StarVegabond and mjothi, a plan was made to be back to Goa for the long weekend that passed by (12,13 and 14th of Jan 2013).
Unfortunately I could not join them due to various constraints. But they did have a blast. Now am eagerly waiting for their Storming report on Goa :D
Please find the GPS trail of the routes I have taken from Karwar to Goa and further on till Dharwad.
Goa.kml
Also shows the route to Agonda, Palolem, Varca and Tandisurla temple
I spent a day at Palolem in Jan 2010, but missed out on the boat ride to the Butterfly beach in the nearby isle. Your pics and video of the ride made up for that, Lalu. Thanks for introducing Agonda Beach, whcih looks a real nice getaway for people like me who prefer some peaceful sun bathing. Hope it is hidden from the crowds for a long time.
