Day 2:
Route: Dharwad-Belgaum-Khanapur-Anmod-Mollem-Panaji-Mapusa-Mandrem

THERE MIGHT BE PICS THAT MAY AROUSE INTEREST IN YOUR NEIGHBOUR AT OFFICE, So PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE AT A SAFE DISTANCE OPENING THE LOG
After a break or two we reach Dharwad around 1, wake up our friend and spend the rest two hours in a dhabha on the outskirts of Dharwad. The rains had brought so much relief; the weather was stupendobulously fantastic considering it to be a summer night in North Karnataka. Laughed till our stomach ached.

Time pass by the Highway


The car fellas reached the meeting point after taking their own time. After waking up most lorry drivers and the petrol bunk guys with the echoing laughter, we leave the place around half past four for Goa via Belgaum. With Belagaum coming to life, we find slowly move out towards Khanapur, found a tea shop out of nowhere in the middle of the forest. With half the daily morning activities done we inch closer to the KAR border. It was a bit irritating to keep pace with the (not so) swift on such roads. Solution: found a Benz bus that almost woke me up with his monstrous presence in the RVM. Road conditions were not the best ones to be found around, but still the milestones which kept on decreasing the numbers in them towards Panaji.
A very busy morning , getting ready for office :b:


The swift arrested


Lonely ...... i am Mr.Lonely ....... i have nobody .......blah blah blah......Our Cottages


And the view from there








Activities on the beach




My money worth after coming here


We had decided to give a lecture as to how guide the people, but once we entered the property everything in the mind went blank. Bikini clad woman in the restaurant, pristine beach till we could set our eyes on. A grin on our face, from ear to ear translated for the rewards for the pain underwent. We waste no time to freshen up and have lunch. Myself and Gautham were on the road for 23 hours straight, without even a power nap in between. After a really long time the fellas make their prescence felt. Hogged on whatever was available and started a chat with the Owner of the shack, it was only then that we came to know that he was from Delhi and could easily speak Hindi. Both of us banged our heads against the wall. Spent some time on the beach before Mr.Johnie walker came out of the box and started walking on the table after the sun went down. Had a tummy full of Fish/crab/Prawns/chicken etc etc before we fell unconscious on the bed for the day

Lovely pics, nice ride.. keep riding!

Day 3:

Route: Mandrem-Calangaute-Mandrem


Day 3 started pretty lazy. A coffee to wake the senses. After spending some time on the beach, a heavy breakfast we leave the place for Calangaute,Vagator and Aguda fort.















Just as we leave Mandrem a convoy of rented vehicles zoomed past us. Some may ask what’s the big deal in it, but to see the KTM, CBRs(Both 250 and 150) already up for rent. So now does that put some eye balls out. When we stopped at a grocery shop which also sold Beer and petrol,to fill fuel for the rented activa( car was back in the huts) the fuel price was a staggering Rs.80/- per ltr(actual price : Rs54/-) . You have no other options except going to Mapusa for a proper fuel station. It was such a good sight to see a lady with an open back riding a FZ so precisely on the twisties or a mother who had tied a (probably) a year or two old baby to her back and riding towards the beach or A guy straight out of the sets of a Hollywood action movie on a Austrian beauty. The ladies with wanna be phirangs kind of attitude was only to be laughed at. Reached Calangaute by afternoon. It was more like Chikpet(in Bangalore) on a Sunday. People everywhere, even public toilets had a long queue. Struck a package deal for water sports.

Geared up


Straight Roads


Knee scraping



Once that was done, it was time to calm the growling stomach. The plan to go to Aguda and Vagator was shelved(knew this would gonna happen).



U guys get lost if you want to, I am staying back


@All: thank you so much for Goa before marriage (its very evident by the happiness in his face) :b:


So reached the cottage on a late evening only to settle. Had a long day to ride the next day, so crashed for the day only after emptying the last ml of the Bacardi .













The pics are so confusing to segregate day wise :comp:

Check the 'Modified' date in the properties of that image. It will show you the time also, when the pic was taken...
