Travel to Unknown Destination















Hi Guys,
It has been interesting to share you all my experience about my visit to Goa and Mumbai. This is the first time i visited any place out of my comforts. This journey was all about my interest and passion towards visiting new places and feeling it. Its been a long time that i have decided to travel to new places on my own without restriction and controls on me. All were saying that it is awkard to see a person to travel to new places without a companion. This journey started on July 30th, 2011 where i started to Goa. Goa is a city where everyone likes to visit and enjoy themselves by visiting the Golden beaches and some historical places. I have reached Goa by 8 in the morning, then i have been taken to a nearby hotel by a cab driver who got me a nice room for an economical price. Goa is surrounded by thick forests and traditional houses which resembles like a hill station. One thing what i liked in goa is its greenery. My day started with a tour to a fort and a few beaches which are quite scenic. From the beaches i visited i liked Calangute beach which stretches for about 8kms. By evening i toured some places and went back to hotel room to refresh myself. Again i started my evening by taking a cruise ship which took me in to the sea for a distance where i could see some casino boats. At the end of the day i visited a small and famous restaurant called VIVA PANJIM which was special in its own where i had my dinner with delicious fish with some green salads, some french fries and Goan special drink Pheni. As this was my unplanned visit to Goa i started thinking to end the visit on the same day. So on the very next morning i checked out from hotel and started to travel agency to start a new plan to a new place where i never visited. After taking some time I have booked myself a ticket to Mumbai. It was quite good to visit to Goa and iam sure i will visit to goa along with my friends.
I have started my journey to Mumbai which is very famous for its Business houses and Bollywood. During the journey i have seen some breath taking view of forests and mountains. I have reached Mumbai city in the late night of 2nd August where i decided to get down near Andheri East. I have decided to go to Mumbai CST which is very far from Andheri. So i took a auto to a near by station to Borivalli where i could catch a local train to mumbai cst. It was midnight and was in the station surrounded by commuters, thieves and a few cops who are very hard to speak with. At the station cops stopped me asked about my whereabouts. I explained about my visit and they let me go after giving warning about the local thieves. Till 4am in the morning i stranded at the station then took a first train to mumbai cst. It took about half hour to reach the station, i stayed in the station till the sun rise then gone to a near by hotel to book a room for myself. I slept for a while so that i can have nice look at the city.
I started my day by walking around bank street where you can find each and every bank in a lane. I reached seashore wherei sat for a few minutes to feel the cool breeze. Then suddenly i got a thought of watching Antilla which is very house of our richest businessman Mukesh Ambani. I walked around 10kms to have a glimpse of Antilla from a near distance. It was awesome to see a $1billion home. From there i caught a bus and travelled to India gate and spent some time around the India gate and visited some market place to have a glimpse of different products which are available there. At the end of the day i went to station to book a ticket for Hyderabad but i could get the ticket so i had to come early in the morning to book a ticket for myself.
It was very thrilling to visit these two cities which are unique in their own places.
