So ladies on 31st Aug morning our journey
started. I was on my 24th week, so my energy level was pretty high
and I was super exited. We started early and reached the airport with plenty of
time in hand.
My doctor had prescribed a medicine to prevent blood
clotting which I had to take on the days when I would be travelling. The
chances of a blood clot are high during a flight. She had also suggested taking
the aisle seat so that I could take a few walks in between, and to do some
hands and feet movement throughout the air travel. I was also not permitted to
sleep during the flight.
Unfortunately, we did not get an aisle seat, but Anu suggested
that we could request others to exchange seats with us. Luckily, the person who
had the aisle seat in our row did not arrive, so we took it and also got an
extra seat to keep our side bags. Great!! J`
In New Delhi Airport…
After landing at Goa…
We were travelling with Spicejet and Anu had pre-booked our meals.
I was not very keen on having flight food, especially on a flight from Delhi.
My experience said whatever airlines you are travelling with, if the flight is
from Delhi, the food quality will be pathetic. I usually like to take some nice
sandwiches or confectioneries from the Delhi Airport and have it on the way.
As expected, the food was pathetic; it was the worst chicken
kathi roll I have ever had in my life. I don’t know what they had fed their chicken
that they were so tasteless!!!
After a mostly uneventful flight, we landed in Goa and took
a taxi from the prepaid counter. Palolem is around 1 to 1.5 hours’ drive from
the airport and our driver kept us entertained with his stories and tidbits of
information all along the way. He had taken the Bangalore highway, and the roadside
was so breathtakingly beautiful that it cannot be explained unless you travel
through it.
We reached the resort within an hour and checked ourselves
in. I was very excited on seeing that the sea was just a few steps away from
our resort. We got room no 101, which was neat and clean. The staff was
friendly too. The greenery outside was very soothing and I liked the place
immediately.
After such pathetic food in the flight we treated ourselves
to a tasty dish of Goan fish curry and rice at the Beach resort and headed
straight to the beach. You can see how happy I am in the pics… J
Anu is also in very color full attire.
In the evening we had squid fry for snacks which was a
little bit tangy but very yum.
The real surprise came when we visited a small Italian
restaurant called “Magic Italy” in the local market for dinner. It is owned and
managed by an old foreigner lady, probably Italian. We ordered a dish of mixed
pasta which was half homemade Ravioli with Mushroom sauce and half Lasagna. The
aroma and the presentation of the food was so tempting that I completely forgot
to take the pics L
and started digging in. This restaurant is a must visit if you are in Palolem
and like Italian food.
On the way back to our resort, we bought some fruits,
mosquito repellent (although the room had a mosquito net) and a mineral water
crate. By then I was completely
exhausted. I got a lot of leg cramps during the night which might have been the
result of the exhaustion.
