Goa Fun!

Day 6 (2^nd October 2011) Sunday

Early Morning Train to Goa

We had great days in Mumbai. It was a lifetime experience for me. And the next chapter was about to begin, Goa. Had heard a lot but never had a chance to visit Goa earlier. I was excited a lot. We took an early morning train to Goa from CST, Mumbai.  I had thought that we would be able to see the sea all day long on the way to Goa because as per the map Goa is just at another end of the Arabian Sea from Mumbai. Contrary to this we happened to see the mountains and our train passed through numerous tunnels until we reached Goa. Truly saying my excitement was slowly going down as the train was passing through those dark, dusty tunnels.

not liking the tunnel experience, dark, dusty and smelly tunnels. I must have felt such because we were travelling in Sleeper Class this time. Windows remained open all the time. Here I would like to request one thing from all passengers who travel by Train, not to throw waste and rubbish from the window. All of them were throwing the waste, plastics, and leftovers from the windows. I think only two of us were putting everything in a plastic bag so that we could bin it afterwards. The railway tracks looked so polluted due to all those plastic bags, wrappers and styrofoam plates.
