As per our
son Utthaan’s wish, Goa it was for the Dasara holidays ! Deciding to drive
enroute Hubli wasn’t easy. We left Bangalore at 2:30 PM after his school and
reached Hubli by 7 PM . Stayed in a hotel overnight and headed towards South
Goa, the next day morning. It was 1:30 PM by the time we touched Caravela Beach
Resort. Phew ! That was one stunning resort with lush greenery all around with
a private beach and a luxurious restaurant. Just checked into the room and straight
out to the restaurant for amazing lunch. Utthaan wasn’t well the entire trip with
flu but still cooperated so well throughout smoothly. There were tons of
activities for adults and kids but we couldn’t catch them up due to Utthaan’s bad
health. Not even into the pool. Alas! Never the less, it was a relaxing trip.
Butterfly Park was something that was in Bharath’s mind since the time we arrived so we decided to drive to the location, on the second day late afternoon. Reached there by 5:00PM and took a jeep to visit the beach which was a 15–20-minute drive. We had to trek down to reach the site and what a view that was ! Tiny yet cute little opening towards the beach. Couldn’t catch butterflies nor it was in the shape of one. “Aerial view of the beach looks like a butterfly “ said one of the fellow visitor. Must be. There was nothing much to do and hence we returned back in 15 minutes taking another jeep the to the parking spot chit chatting with other peers. Final thoughts-That was a waste of time & money ! Not again. Day 3 like the first day was totally blissful. We enjoyed the live music as well. Utthaan loved playing in the sand and collecting sea shells. Spending time with loved ones with just good food, music, beach walks & gazing around is what relaxation feels like. These 3 days was worth it ! Time to head back to Bangalore on Day 4 and that was a straight drive from Goa to our abode.
