Guys,
Yeah..Daman !! Daman was our impromptu planned
decision...anyways, Daman can not be a planned tourist spot for many..but why not !!
Completely satisfied is what i call the experience at Daman...My husband kept telling me right from the journey start that my
expectation needs to be NIL so that i enjoy whatever is stored...Thats when i
went there with 0 expectation and it turned out to be good..Yeah..good !
Guys, that’s what i define as a quiet holiday..away from the
traffic and chaos…Something that’s beautiful about Daman is its look and
feel..the relics of Portuguese past…the legacy to some extent still lives on-
in life, the buildings( church, forts and so on..).Being the closest wet region
in South Gujarat, its a popular destination for those who want to wet their
throats occasionally close to home. Beer flows at every corner and one can see
the young crowd absolutely in the mood…A day prior to our exit was elections at
Daman and the chilled ambience converted into little grim where, one could see
people desperately in search of a beer shop…shops were closed a day prior from
noon and those with zero planning were totally left in lurch.
Daman seems to be very safe city for one and all, and
hooglism is rare unlike other tourist places where, the local auto / taxi wala
take you for a good ride. Some places were absolute pleasure visiting..Our
viist to The Chapel of our Lady Rosary located within the fort was one such…and
of course the sunsets are so magical ! Spent some quality time at Devka and
Jambore beach where the latter was comparatively better maintained than the
former..Nothing beats lazing and dozing off on a shack when you have a good
company.
I have always loved places with low population density and
Daman was just perfect ! A few people scattered here and there... and you at times
, do get the Goa feeling here..though the profile of people visit both these places
are pole apart...didnt see a single firang here during my 4 day stay.
Staying at Silver Sand was a good experience…it’s an
absolute value for money ! The food was quite decent and we landed up eating
all our meals from the resort itself.Rooms were okay..could have been little
better in terms of hygiene but nevertheless hospitality of the staff was at
place.
Stress free
traveling and good food combined with a decent stay ..We just had a good time !
Trains from Borivili lands you to Vapi and from there you get
easy access to Daman through multiple options like Taxis and Autos and the
charges are quite nominal. Realized that it could be a easy and better options
to plan extended weekends at Daman ( and why not ! good food + relax cozy nominal
stay and of course cheap liquor ) makes it a good choice !
