Day Fourteen 30-10-10

In the morning of the 30th of October in Goa we were off to see a Fort in Corjeum.

We arrived at “THE FORT”

We drove almost 2 hours to be presented with this AMAZING fort, which ofcourse we didn’t know was ABANDONED!!!!!! Anyway the scenery was nice.

History about the fort we don’t know, so not much to talk only much to see Smile.

Then we looked in the map and decided to go to “Dona Paula” which is a jetty with a  view point and a statue. The statue is of a Portuguese princess and a Goan boy who committed suicide when their love was not accepted by the Portuguese Royal family. DSCN5779DSCN5778

we went there because it is one of the touristic places in Goa, but I was not really impressed. However, driving around in a moped and being free completes the holiday feeling for me Winking smile. So, I didn’t see much impressive culture however the “culture” on the road entertained me enough.

On the way back we met an elephant, which belonged to a temple. The temple people wanted me to get on the elephant, which I didn’t resist. Liny captured the event and this is the result. DSCN5791DSCN5794DSCN5796DSCN5803DSCN5805

Movie comes later Winking smile 

In the night, we wanted to check out the “Goa Night Life” so we wanted to go to the “Tito’s” which is a main place here. Liny’s mom didn’t allow us to go drive on the moped because we did not know the way (no thought about alcohol). So we had a driver who brought us!

Before we went in the club we did some pre- drinking Winking smile. The booze was cheap ( Mojito – 2 euros and Vodka less than 50 cents). Half drunk we went to Tito’s which turned out to be under refurbishment (Bollocks!!). So we ended up in Mambo’s which is a sister company/club of Tito’s. We needed to pay 800 rupees to get in as a couple, if you want to come in as single its 1200 rupees. This is policy to prevent singles coming in to hook up Winking smile. Therefore mostly couples were there, strangles in each other and trying to dance ( what they couldn’t ) So the night was partly entertainment looking at the people and partly annoyance because of the British hip –hop music that was on instead of the more horrible Goa Trance!!! which is fine when you are a bit tipsy!!!!

After 2 hours of entertainment, we called our driver. during the wait we tried to forget our wasted entrance fee 800 rupees by drinking another one. Luckily our driver was a fan of Goa Trance and had a good sound system in his car. So end good all good!!!!!
