Monday, our last day in Goa. The week just ran by so quickly. But then I guess that is what happens when your having a fantastic time. I’ve never had a more fun packed week in Goa!

We were woken up early as we had to pack to leave. Crispin went to Badem to pick up a parcel he had to take back and came back with a huge box of mangoes – which he had to lug all the way back home.

After we were done with the packing, Ajay and I trimmed the garden, while Ruth and Crispin and Ruth were having duals with the trimmed branches!

After lunch we surveyed the luggage and found that there was no way we could manage it by bus to the station.

However it being lunch time there is a dearth of conveyance unless you have already arranged for it. We decided to take our chances.

Wished Grandma goodbye and headed for the station with 6 packages and Ruth and Dora for porters. Fortunately we managed to get hold of a rick which took all the luggage to the station. The rest came walking over the mountain to the station. Valley met us there.

The train was 40 minutes late which is rather unusual. I managed to get a seat in the same compartment as Ajay and Crispin. Had a comfortable trip back.

Uncle Antony picked us up at Dadar and dropped me home before heading back to Andheri. Unpacked the goodies and hit the bed.
