I unfortunately had another morning of randomly throwing up (?) I sorted myself out and headed out for the Dolphin Trip we had planned. Very confused as after I was sick I was fine but it was always first thing. Got to the beach and yet again Abu had done us well by taking us to a lesser known spot. We went out with a few other people on the boat passed 'Jimmy the Millionaires' place. He is a big Bollywood Director and from the outside the house and grounds looked very impressive. However, not the best location as he was next door to a high security jail housing Goa's most dangerous criminals……great neighbours!!!
We continue out to where the dolphins are and it's hilarious. We're one of a few boats circling waiting for a dolphin to pop its head up. One's up and we're off, all that's missing is the Benny Hill music as these boats chase the dolphins to give the tourist the best view before they disappear under water again. They're playing the game they appear a little way off in the opposite direction teasing the boats and they chase. It's like a massive Tom & Jerry act with the boats spinning into action everytime a dolphin comes into view. I really enjoyed being on the boat on the open water in the gorgeous sunshine and could have quite happily stayed out there all day.
We returned to Abu and onto Aguada Fort. Although a fantastic view point and the obvious history behind the location we make the visit brief as the midday sun was cooking us alive! Home to the apartment for a snooze, sunbathe and dip in the pool then its off out to dinner. We decided to try a recommendation in the visitor's book and after running an errand to the local jeweller we went to Baga/Calungute. My god, what another world that place is. It made us realise that for us the peace and quiet of Vagator is much more appealing than the hustle bustle of the English laden tourist strips. The restaurant was lovely and the food was fantastic but for now it was back to the apartment ready for the busyness of tomorrow.
