Goa = The Sun, The Sand & The Sea (3)

Sunday morning we decided to have our breakfast at the much spoken about eatery – The Infantaria. The quaint little eatery drew us instantly and we made our way to a table and sat down to start our day with good food. We had a scrumptious breakfast of a mushroom - cheese – 3 egg omlette with toast with French toast and Strawberry milkshakes – though the milkshakes were not too good :(

After a day spent on the beach and lazing around, in the evening we made our way to the Mandovi River for our very first Ferry cruise/ride. As we made our way to the Ferry boat we heard music being played and our excitement grew with every step that we took to the top of the ferry. Upon being seated, we looked around and our eyes glinted with the lights all around us.

Soon our host started the show and we sat enthralled as dancers swayed to different kinds and types of music. As the show took a break, a huge boat went past us – the Casino Royale! It was beautiful! My interest rose to new high and I got tempted to go onto the Casino Royale but the same got squashed immediately when I heard that the cost of getting onto the boat was Rs. 4,000/- per head! Though I was disappointed, I made up my mind that one day I will go onto the boat and try my luck at the casino! :) Anyone listening? ;)

The ferry ride lasted an hour which sped by so fast that we were left checking our watches to see if the hour had really passed! The growling in our stomachs reminded us that it was time for dinner and we made our way to eat at an open air restaurant – The Fisherman’s Cove. Before we got to the restaurant we passed a shop called as “Original Fakes” – the name was interesting and their wares were more that a little interesting! They were amazing! This small shop sold bags – nothing interesting about that you may say, but if you walked out with a “Jimmy Choo” bag @ just Rs. 1,200/- wouldn’t that get your attention?? And it definitely got ours! Our stomachs were put on hold for the moment and we went a little berserk inside, ending up with 6 bags between the 3 of us! :)

With our shopping pangs satisfied it was now time to attend to our hunger pangs and attend we did – with a seafood platter and sautéed squids! A perfect end to a perfect day!
