First stop, a quick detour off NH17 to the picturesque Chapoli Dam. The perfect place for some wild stream bathing and some cow-watching.
After a refreshing bath, we were hungry, and off we went to Palolem, for a freakingly amazing feast of seafood at the Palolem Beach Resort. Tandoori Prawns, Masala Squid, some amazing Rawa Fried Surmai, Chicken Cafreal, Pomfret Recheado... washed down with chilled Pepsi.
We wanted to take a boat down to Butterfly Island and explore the shoreline, but it was still a little hot and sunny, and decided to explore in the cool environs of our cars instead. So, next stop, the not-so-happening Patnem.
Too many cows spoil the beach, so we beat a hasty retreat and ended up in the very beautiful and secluded Galjibag, beside the Lalit's Golf Course. The kids had a gala time in the cold water, while the elders watched jealously.
It was 4:00 by now, and we were all tired from the beach-hopping, so we washed up (careful not to get any sand into the squeaky clean cars), caught up some nice hot tea at a local tapari, and then went on to our last hop of the day - Agonda.
At 6:00, the beach-weary party decided to call it a day and head back home - after all, the night was yet to begin, and we needed to be ready for it!
