it is also known as mini Goa by locals. A beautiful hot day and clear blue skys..We took a rickshaw which is only 6km from Delvada, but travelling though roads damaged through excessive use and rain it does seem like a 20km journey as you bounce along in the back of a rickshaw but it's always a good experience.
We entered the big gates of Diu early afternoon and at this point the sun was really beating down and we were beginning to feel it. First we went to some of the local attractions; the fort which is many years old with it's own mini Alcatraz, the church, church museum, Sunset Point and the lighthouse, all of which provdied good opportunity for some holiday snaps. Gangeshwar Mahadev was the place I was eagerly waiting to go to, with 5 natural shiv lings which have existed there since forever. We seeked blessings after a good few hours enjoying the attractions nothing better then going off to Nagoa Beach, the main beach in Diu! As we got to Nagoa beach a corn on the cob with some chilli and lemon was ideal, the sun beating down and everyone having a pleasant time. A quick few snaps in the sea with crashing waves and then off to play high throw catching which was briiliant. Not to forget writing messages in the sand for close loved ones, friends and family.
After all that what more the going to a boat restaurant on the edge of the sea, a beautiful view of the bridge and a lovely meal. After a tiring day, on the way home we sat in a rickshaw with 15 people, some of them hanging out, squashed, you can call it what you want but you just have to adapt here.
Got home, a quick shower and then realise the amount of mosquito bites on my leg..won't believe it but 34!:-( I think the love the foreign blood, as the journey continues I'm sure wel have alot more fun and they'll have alot more of me!
Goodnight...
