Mumbai Vacation
Well as my vacation is going on,(yes i'm bored, to a certain extent) we planned to go to Kalam beach near Nalla Supara.
In the morning we set out, in the way we visited the Church in Naigaon This church has a very similar design to the church in Manarcadu in Kerala. We attended the mass over there. We even had our lunch over there, as there is a offering by a member every week, The members of this church come from some distance away, hence it would be tiring to go hame and prepare lunch, hence the offering. The choir in this church was sweet.
We then went to our aunt's place who would take us for our trip.We rested there for some time. Somewhere around 5pm we set out for our journey.
Our journey was pleasant for most of the time. With trees on both sides of the road and small houses lining up the sides of the road it had to be good. But then came the horror. We reached a junction called from where we take a turn down a narrow road to the beach.










This narrow road of about 2kms was one of the horrifying roads i have ever traveled. Two vehicles travelling side by side was a strict no-no. At one juncture when we had to give side to an
oncoming vehicle, our car nearly slipped in the marshy land at the side, whose surface was at least 2ft below the road level.
Well any how we got through it and we reached Kalam beach. Unlike the beach in Uttan which has fishing, this beach was only meant for enjoyment. We spend some time in the beach, wetted
our feet etc. We had so much fun even in that as we had visited a beach nearly after 2 years.I even took the car for a spin on the beach. It was great fun.












As the roads were narrow we had to return early. On the road we again came to a jam. So by the time we reached our next destination it had become quite dark.
So our next destinstion was one of Shivaji's fort near Vasai. As it was quite dark, people had left the fort and were waiting for a bus. Still we went in to explore the fort and mind you that was some feeling. It was like some mystic feel- calm, quite, peaceful. So good. But at the same time it was a little spooky. But then too , it was worth all our efforts.






We set out for our home with good memories, and that bought an end to our 1 day picnic to Mumbai.
