The Goan Holiday - January 14th 2007


After a scrumptious breakfast at Camp 69, we hit the beach. The day was to be dedicated to Morjim beach. We gave some money to a beach shack called Golden Eagle and asked them to care of our belongings. That money was to be used to pay for our lunch.

It was time to conquer the sea. I am not a swimmer and was really scared at first of getting into the sea with the waves crashing on my head. But then I slowly got used to it and enjoyed frolicking in the water for quite some time.

We waded through water till we reached the end of the beach and waded back to Golden Eagle because by then our stomachs were screaming with hunger.

Like many shacks on the beach, this one was owned by a Russian, which was obvious when we went through the menu. Each item on the menu had a Russian translation for it. I had Mojito for the first time here and I haven’t had a better one anywhere since.

With our tummies full, we were getting sleepy and what better place to take a nap than the beach beds. So here we were, lying on our beach beds talking, watching the few people on the beach and at peace with ourselves.

The next day was photography day!!!

hey Nirali,
glad to hear you spend a nice time at Morjim beach, as we do for the third season this year! the Golden Eagle is also our favored restaurant, and knowing it well since years, I would like to correct your assessment in one detail: the Golden Eagle has always been run - with great dedication and a very family touch - by Jenny and Abi Madeira, who are truly Goan! I guess a Russian translation of the Menu is a must in this part of Goa ...
hope you'll get the chance to visit again one day!
