Picnic to Ozran

All of us kids from the Bhobe and Sardesai clans went on a picnic this Sunday. And being in Goa - my 4th successive weekend :) - it was only natural that we went to the beach. Ozran is also called Little Anjuna - and is a small, beautiful beach not really on the main tourist trail. Here are some snaps from the awesome day out...



A set of beautiful bamboo cottages on the cliff greet you as you reach Ozran. This is where we set up base camp.





Clear blue waters of the Arabian beyond the small horse-shoe beach. This is the view from every cottage on the cliff.





Beautiful sit-outs dot the small staircase carved in the rock, going down to the beach.





Sanam enjoys the waves - this is one of the safer beaches, though the currents are just as bad. Thankfully, Papa is a good swimmer!








After a good bath in the sea, all set for lunch! And the clothes? Well, being sun-burnt is not a pleasant experience!










The carving of Shiva and the Naag is a pretty interesting addition to the scenery!




Lunch at Britto's was the perfect way to satisfy the hunger pangs. The crab-stuffed prawns are an absolute must!






The picnic continues after a brief siesta at home. Here Madhavi and Sanam prepare to conquer the waves in their water scooter...




And if that was not enough, here Deepa and Mads prepare to take to the skies! Para-gliding is another of those must-do things when in Goa! It's safe, and oh, the experience - unbelievable (at least that's what they told us poor ground-based souls)



And finally, as the dark clouds promise an exciting monsoon ahead, we call it a day - and return home - to another sumptious dinner!
