My first Travelog :: Madh Island



getting ready for the plunge


Being part of a family in the business of travel i thought this time i will compile a travelog .


The Trip : A weekend getaway to Madh Island


Though i have been to Alibag (Remember my first trip ) and also to Goa (my first big trip ) i had never been to a beach (can you believe this considering that i am growing up in mumbai ...)Consider it as a चिराग तले अँधेरा और घर की मुर्गी दाल बारबार ./the non veg version of the same axiom.

Artist at Play!


I have got it capture on the video and some memorable photos considering it was a first for me to go into a swimming pool .



A short 40 minute trip ...a good drive once we cross the congested roads.idylic surrounding ,me enjoyed the drive more than the one going to Alibag.Once there we just checked into the The retreat ,a deluxe resort with a great pool and almost on the beach .From one corner of the window i codl see the baech too .At the beach i had an overdose of the dried fishes (right outside the hotel ),intoxicating ,and foul as it can get but my olfactory senses are better than mom who could hardly bear it .On the beach i saw the sea (sacry ),the boat (not as fascinating as it is pictures ) and the sand (fun ).I had carried my bech tools to enjoy the experience

hungry ...after the beach workout


Back at the hotel i spent the second afternoon in the pool with dad doing the honours of giving me not only the first dip but also the first taste of chlorinated water .Contrary to the expectations i did not cry ,welll actually i did but only when i was carried out of the water (i am not boasting ,this is true ).I had a moment of bonkers video created when i slipped on the side .It is recorded but mum inisit that it should not be made public .But i think i wll put it up on the next entry .A blooper moment ,that hurt at that moment but i guess will be a classic when i see it at a later age .









Poolside Fun


शुभ यात्रा
