Alibag Trip

It was Sunday and I got up from sleep at around 12:30 in the afternoon. This was something usual on weekends. But this weekend was not just the same. I was feeling to go out somewhere to have an adventurous trip. And this is when the idea of going to Alibag came. I asked my roommate Ashwin, and Rohit about the plan. Initially there were few ifs and buts because it was too unplanned and we were not aware about the place and transport facilities but later they both agreed. Quickly we took shower and had lunch and began our journey. It was 3:30 PM when we left the home and took a fast local to CST. We got 5’O clock ferry from Gateway of India.

The ferry ride was little boring initially but later in the middle of the sea, few birds made it interesting by playing their show. People were feeding them “Kurkure” and we were analyzing their fast reflexes.

We reached to a port at 6 PM from where the bus took us to Alibag beach. And finally we reached to our destination at 7 PM but to our surprise the beach was not very good and we did not stay there for more than 5 minutes. We again took a bus for Kashid Beach which was supposed to be the most beautiful and clean white sand beach. We reached there at 9 and it was very beautiful full moon night. The beach was really very clean and the moonlight was making it still more exquisite. Though it was night but there were enough people to make the place lively. We changed our clothes and moved into the water to enjoy the high tides. The fun was unimaginable and the few girls around playing “kabaddi” made it more interesting ;). We left the beach at 11 and walked on the empty streets to look for a dhaba. Ate food at one of the road side dhabas and took the bus back to Mumbai and reached at 3:30 in the morning. This was our short and sweet 12 hours trip.
