Two cars were scheduled to leave Banglaore on 29th Dec 2008 , unfortunately only one left. That left Me & Ron to reach Goa by Bus. The journey of 15Hrs by bus was a memorable one. From here we caught a bus to Ranibennur & from there to Dharwad. On arrival at Dharwad the Stand incharge told us that the next bus to Panaji was only at 2230 Hrs. And the time then was 1700Hrs. We continued in the same bus to Belgaum. On arrival at Belgaum we came to know that there were no private buses to Panaji and the bus service starts only at 2230Hrs. Having herad that we decided to have dinner at New Niyaz and then sat against a wall at Belgaum bus stand.
Finally the bus arrived at 2300 Hrs and we reached Panaji at 0415 Hrs on 30th Dec 2008. Rufi & Suneer were waiting for us at the bus stand. Ron had booked the rooms at Baga beach and the name of the place was Joaquim’s – a wonderful stay with the view of the beach.
It was only on television that I had seen before the fireworks for the New Year celebration and this time I was a witness for the most colorful New Year of My life.
Time flew like it was nobody’s business and all I recollect now is the beach , the sunset , the banana ride and of course the long walk.
