Day one 6 Dec - Go Go Goaa Trip

Cock a doodle doo...... Cock a doodle do......
I got up with a start at 4.30 trying my level best to give myself another 10 mins of glorious sleep. But somehow the excitement kept lingering about the goa trip. The next beat motivation were my beautiful nieces who up before me. Gosh.... With all the will that I had I got up and jumped to the kitchen. Made sandwiches and did everything that we need for a picnic.
Finally the moment arrived when we got out of the house and walked towards the main entrance. The heaviest bag was apparently in my custody. I somehow managed to drag it along and walk. The moment we reached the entrance the bus arrived and to my utter surprise the bus never had a carrier. With abuses in my mind I started carrying the luggage I side the bus. We set all the "Saman" on the last seat. There were another three passengers with us. Michelle her Mom and Richard uncle. They all belong to the same parish.

There began the glorious journey of our goa Tripp. The first halt was made on Pune express way for breakfast. We shared the breakfast with them a little reluctantly. We expected them to alteast pay for the chai but nothing. They paid later. So then for our lunch halt at satara we avoided sharing lunch with them. Unfortunately there was a major accident on the road. A man on the bike was hit by the car. Poor soul he must have lost a leg for sure but just hope and pray god protects him.ci wanted to help him but no one supported me. Later got to know that he's on his way to the hospital
The longest journey continued for 14 hours. I got motion sickness as well. Our bus passed through some ghats which were actually scary. There were narrow lanes and so small that only two buses at a time can fit in that. All were glued to their seat and waiting for us to get down the ghats. And finally we got down the ghats and a breathe  sigh of relief.

The journey to the church was in itself an adventure . Dense forest all around and not a soul anywhere. In the corner I saw a small light getting stronger by the minute. Finally the house now appeared from somewhere . My first reaction was Wow!!!!

On the tip of the mountain with a view of the entire city. Amazing!!! The rooms are pretty average but good. We had dinner and slept immediately. A good end to a tiring day !!!!
