Day 04 Goa (Saturday):
globe. Brilliant lush green fields surrounding village and bamlets, white
washed churches standing out against occasional empty patches of startling
red soil. Welcome to Goa, the land of India's finest golden sand beaches,
jungle clad hills, imposing ancient churches and elegant mansions, splashed
with colour ofbougainvillea. Goa is indeed a great collage of sights,
experiences and history.
Once in Goa, you can start off with Old Goa. Take a walk amid the ruins,
ramble in the vast gardens and grounds of the old church buildings.
Basilica of Bom Jesus, Se Cathedral and the Church of St. Francis of
Assissi, that began as a mosque but now is an archaeological museum
for Goan antiques.
Next, free time for a short walk in the city of Panjim a Capital of
Goa. City is built on the left bank of the Mandovi river contains archbishop
palace, a modern port, churches and long winding streets lined with
remarkably well preserved old houses. One can do some shopping to carry
memories of this beautiful State.
It's time for an afternoon finger licking Goan delicacies.
Next stop is Dona Paula, a small palm fringed beach with casuarinas
groves and tranquility. Visit Fontanhas, the Latin quarters at Panjim.
The day has ended, but it Goa, it is just the beginning. Non stop fun,
virgin beaches, ancients sites and caves, religious icons and shrines
are set deep in your mind as you head back to the Madgaon station. Wine
and dine on board the royal train. It's true, no matter how much time
you have in Goa, it will always seem too little.
