Babymoon Palolem Beach Goa 6th Day....Dolphin visit

This was a very eventful day. As per our plan we reached the beach at 8 am for the boat ride. Babubhai, our boatman was to take us to the mid sea for showing Dolphins, otherwise as per Babubhai’s word “Paisa mat dena agar Dolphin nahi dikhaya toh” J (Don’t give me money if I am not able to show you Dolphins).

Anu had already bought some cake the day before so that we could take it with us for the visit.

I put some bronzer on my face and tried to keep my lips neutral.

Now some caution: during pregnancy it's not advisable to go for a boat ride. Reason one, if you already feeling nausea, it would make the matter much worse. The ride was for an hour and you may feel the urge to go to the toilet, which is not uncommon during pregnancy but you won’t have any option. Thirdly you need to keep yourself hydrated even though you know there is no convenience of washroom at hand.

But I ignored the caution as I was too excited to see the dolphins.

Palolem beach has too many islands nearby and our boat was going past them. Babu bhai was giving some running commentary about those islands and beaches. These are some beautiful pics taken by Anu.

                              

                

He showed us a beach and informed that during the peak tourist season the Goras came there and partied naked. I was laughing at the thought of the cultural shock that the localities at Palolem must have got when they had witnessed such an incident for the first time! May be it had become a news which had been discussed through years, until they had got used to the idea.

Personally I feel that the local people of Palolem are the very good and friendly people, who really don’t bother about whatever on the earth you wear.

After travelling for almost 15 to 20 min what we saw was beyond my imagination. I saw so many dolphins freely moving in the sea. It was just a spell binding moment and Anu was taking pics of the dolphins one by one. You can see some of his pics here.

But while Babubhai was trying to show us dolphins he had to keep the motor running without moving the boat much and the smell of diesel was made me feel uneasy. But I kept silent about it as I knew that Anu would insist on returning back from that point as soon he would know the fact.

I took some cake and tried to feel better.

After spending almost 40-45 min in the mid sea we returned back to Palolem beach.

We also spotted a bird during coming back…

Anu took some more pics…

And that’s our Palolem beach… 

After stepping onto the beach I told him that I was not feeling well and that the boat ride was not recommended for pregnant women. He got completely furious at me. I just assured him that I needed  an hour’s rest and I would be fine.

After that I slept like a baby and not much of Anu’s reproaches reached my ears.
