Goa Trip - Part 2

The second day in Goa started with something we all are best at "Laziness". Well we almost wasted the entire morning sleeping and by the time we got ready to leave it was already afternoon. We had some jira masala bun and samosa's for breakfast (both of which were lovely and very light on the pocket) from a small shop in Mapusa market. Our day was going to be awesome now that we had bikes! We filled petrol in Mapusa itself as we were unsure of getting any gas stations on the way (And yes there were no gas stations on the way!).

Today's destination was fixed on Arambol beach in the morning followed by Baga beach in the evening. We started our ride towards Arambol beach and in about an hour we reached our destination, how I wished our ride lasted much longer. The roads were narrow, sometimes with trees on either sides or some hill's on one or both sides or besides the sea and sometimes through some houses, the roads here in Goa were just incredible for passionate riders like us.

As we closed in on the beach we had to pass through a narrow path to get to the beach. The path had different kinds of shops on both sides with many fascinating items to attract the tourists. As we got closer we saw many bikes parked at the sides, even we parked our bikes here. Arambol beach was marvelous, with its clear water and white sand. There were so many things that were happening around us, people were swimming, surfing, playing beach ball, enjoying the sun and we just kept watching.

I being a photo enthusiast started clicking pics of the sea, the water hitting the rocks and of the shell crabs on the seashore, after which we also clicked some pics of us on this wonderful beach.

We walked further to explore the beach and in our expedition we found a shack. The shack was at the far end of the beach from where we had entered. 

The view from the shack.

On one side of the shack was the sea and on the other side was a hill from which some were parasailing. We were also interested in sailing but due to lack of wind we were unable to. 


We had lunch at the shack watching over the beauty of the sea. I don't remember the name of this shack but I certainly remember the splendid food we had here. The ham spaghetti and golden fried squid were the best (It is a must try if you visit this shack). 

Ham Spaghetti.
The crew here were very friendly and at our service a 100%, I guess because we were the only group dining here at that time. In our view from the shack there were also two foreign tourists enjoying the bright sun on the beach. Roy and Zeyn wanted to take a pic with them, so they got up to ask them. It’s funny because when they asked the tourists, they denied them saying "Our Embassy has told us specifically, not to click pics with anyone". Haha! So with their heart broken, Roy and Zeyn came back. It felt really pleasant dining here and it felt great that our foodie expedition in Goa was getting better and better. 

When we left from here it was already five in the evening. We headed back home to get refreshed and dress up for an evening in Baga beach. When we were back home, Zeyn was feeling a bit low, he seemed to have fever so we went to get him checked to a nearby doctor. The doctor prescribed some medicines and suggested him to take the day off and rest at home. We had dinner at a nearby restaurant (Spice Goa) and then as the doctor had suggested, Zeyn was resting at home and we went to Baga beach (we are such awesome friends!). We were at Baga for an hour and then we got back home to rest for another fresh day in Goa!

The Urban Riders!


Stay tuned to hear the tale of our last day in Goa, the day we ate at the best restaurant :)
