14 35 – 537 km reading: We had a yummy Chinese noodles lunch in an Indian cuisine restaurant – the only way they can make Chinese!! We stayed for an hour and blogged.
The 546 km reading was at the Goa – Karnataka border where we were stopped for a routine check of all “non-Goa” cars. The registration papers were actually a crude colour photocopy but the cops were more interested in extracting an “entry fee” of Rs. 50 than actually checking the authenticity of the papers!! :P
Anyway, we refused to pay the sum, and carried on the way. :)
Danish finally got tired of driving non stop at 606.3 km reading and had reached Margaon (also known as Madgaon) at 16 00 hrs.
I finally got the wheel at Margaon after a break of 45 minutes, where I skillfully maneuvered the car between trucks and annoying two wheelers and safely brought us to Baga beach at 648 kms at 18 00 hrs!!
Meanwhile Danish recharged himself with 2 pulpy oranges and a gatorade, at which time he forced the wheel away from my efficient control and undertook the last couple of kms himself!
We reached the beach with the expectation of meeting a couple of friends who had promised us accommodation but they were out for a bout of Karting. So all of us headed to the beach side shacks for a steamy sizzler meal at Lucky Star shack on Baga. The sea was just the right degree of cold and the temperature was just the right degree of warm!
Danish, of course, was a stick in the mud and decided to wear his socks in the beach instead of "dirtying" his well pedicured feet....:P
Now, safe in the comfort of our rooms and the fluffyness of our beds, we sign off for the first day of this trip!!
Asta la vista!
