On Monday.. December 5th.. 2011.. I traveled from Arambol Beach south to the Goan City of Mapusa .. Then using Mapusa as a hub.. I planned to then visit a series of beaches on the north Goan coast beginning with Anjuna Beach and working south to Baga Beach .. to Calangute Beach .. to Candolim Beach.. and finally to Sinquerim Beach .. with a backpack full of necessities .. I had planned to stay away from 2 to 3 nights .. and to also visit OLD GOA .. sort of a ' mini grand-tour ' of north Goan Beaches AND Old Goa ..
I ended up visiting ONLY BAGA Beach and part of OLD GOA .. my photos of Old Goa will be found in For What It's Worth.. 88.. below .. my total trip from leaving my apartment in Arambol Beach to returning to my apartment was NOT 2 or 3 nights BUT only EIGHT HOURS and Fifteen Minutes.. leaving Arambol Beach at 10:15AM and being back at 6:30PM .. all on Monday the 5th..
IF you would like the COMPLETE STORY of Monday the 6th of December.. please go to my other web site .. h t t p : b a b a k a p s . n e t .. and then continue to the Post .. For What It's Worth.. 83.. December 6, 2011 ..
I left Arambol Beach somewhat late (at 10:15AM not at 6:30AM or 7AM) but was into Mapusa at 12Noon.. and in short order a bus for two of my destination beaches awaited me.. so on I hopped and off a bus-load of us went for CALANGUTE Beach and BAGA Beach ..
When we got to CALANGUTE Beach it was so crass and it was so commercial and it was so flooded with tourists and it was so BAD that I did NOT EVEN GET OFF THE BUS at CALANGUTE Beach but continued to BAGA Beach ..
Well BAGA Beach was the same as CALANGUTE Beach EXCEPT THAT I HAD TO DE-BUS since Baga Beach was the end-of-the-bus-line ..
So let me first slip into the mix the below photo of ARAMBOL Beach.. MY home beach and what I am used to seeing in Goa..
ALLOW ME .. IF YOU PLEASE .. TO CONTINUE WITH BAGA BEACH.. TURN TO YOUR LEFT FROM THE ABOVE PHOTO AND LOOK SOUTH DOWN BAGA BEACH AND YOU SEE WHAT YOU SEE IMMEDIATELY BELOW..
OH YES.. I HAVE MORE OF BAGA BEACH.. I THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER ASK FOR MORE.. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BELOW PHOTO.. IF YOU TURN 90 DEGREES TO YOUR LEFT.. YOU WILL SEE WHAT YOU SEE IN THE LAST PHOTO AT THE BOTTOM BELOW.. THE REALLY NICE SCENE .. THE SCENE IN THE FINAL PHOTO AT THE BOTTOM IS WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING ACROSS AT IN THE PHOTO IMMEDIATELY BELOW ..
OK HERE AT LAST .. SEE THE BELOW PHOTO.. IS THE PHOTO THAT THEY SHOW ALL THE FUTURE TOURISTS WHO ARE PLANNING TO COME TO VISIT BAGA BEACH IN NORTH GOA.. AND TRULY.. THE BELOW PHOTO IS SPECTACULAR.. BUT.. IT IS NOT THE TYPICAL BAGA BEACH SCENERY.. IT IS ACROSS THE RIVER AT THE EXTREME NORTH OF THE BEACH..
AS YOU STAND TO SHOOT THE ABOVE PHOTO.. YOU TURN 90 DEGREES TO YOU RIGHT.. YOU SEE THE SCENE IMMEDIATELY ABOVE THIS LAST AND BOTTOM PHOTO.. IF YOU STUDY THAT PHOTO ABOVE THIS BOTTOM PHOTO.. YOU WILL SEE.. IN THE DISTANCE.. THE GREENERY YOU SEE HERE..
