Goa- sea, pool, dolphins...

Mumma Daddy are quite keen on making me experience new things. This time, they wanted me to experience a train journey. I normally prefer flights.

Well, to cut the long story short, I kept vigil while the seniors had a good night's sleep. After all, there are so many stories of luggage theft!



Goa, finally!! The air was so fresh!!



We checked in, ate & slept so that we are ready for the 3 day extravaganza!!

Day 1

Good morning!! What a lovely day!


Just the kind of day to spend on a beach.



I did some artistic work on the sand


Got back in time for breakfast!! Then we changed into something more comfortable & moved to the pool :-))

I remembered Dory from 'Finding Nemo'. As a tribute to her undying/unflinching spirit, I sang the memorable song 'Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming swimming swimming' about a 100 thousand times!! This I did on my own in the baby pool. Guess Mumma Daddy were very proud of my feat.





It was time to relax. It was a warm day. All this exercise made me tired and happy


Afternoon siesta...

Since I got my afternoon beauty sleep, I decided to be kind. While relaxing in the resort garden, I thought of giving mumma daddy some private moments together..so i wore my shoes & went away to a corner...
I waited for them to come & fetch me back...
God!! how boring this 'wait' can get...
Finally mamma remembered & called me...
I ran into her arms & clung there for quite sometime...
Afterall, this is my most favourite place in the whole world...
Despite such a packed schedule, I managed my mandatory evening walk, in order to get the gastric juices flowing...


Peaceful day.

Day 2

This was supposedly the sight-seeing day.

We had the bus exclusively for us... but the ride was very long & boring. I passed time eating kurkure (which I cajoled mumma into buying, when she was buying kajoos for her friends!) and Frooti.




The boat ride was fun. If you want a glimpse, please visit us to see the videos...




Folk dances...


A beautiful sunset...

To make the return journey exciting, I insisted on some stories.... we had a good laugh, since mumma came up some new stories/characters. Daddy mixed 2 stories- Rohit & Mohit in the Park with the Sanders story. Guess he made it up on the spot. But then I did not mind his creative inputs!



I liked Cristina, the young lady. We got along like a house on fire! She was waiting for me, since she knew I would be leaving tomorrow and she would not be around. So sweet of her...


Day 3

I was woken up quite unceremoniously by Mumma Daddy. They created a lot of noise about some dolphins, boat, beach. I was not very interested but had to give in to all the coercion...

The deal was clear. I get ready if I get to wear my glares :-)) Haha


The boat ride was amazing. I took the front seat on daddy's lap and loved the cool breeze blowing thro' my hair... This is life




There were lots of dolphins.... but they were very quick. I kept alerting the boat driver by shouting 'woh dekho, woh dekho' whenever I spotted them. This helped mumma daddy also to get a good view. They would have missed it otherwise because of their slow reflexes!!


This made them very happy.


This is the place I used to call 'Goa ka Ghar'. Others call it Ramada.


Once we were done with the dolphin cruise, I kicked some waves before we called it a day.



It was a nice end to the 4 day trip!! I had a blast!!

Lest they forget, I also did a small drama acting angry & all that. This was to ensure that mumma daddy get acclimitised to my regular tantrums :-)
