DOLPHIN SPOTTING

1st Jan,2008 started on a very good note for us.We were in Goa where we celebrated the onset of the New Year. Our Taxi Driver told us of a beach where we could spot DOLPHINS.Yes , you heard right ! DOLPHINS in Goa (SEE VIDEO)

Coco Beach let us explore the cutest creature,I think in the whole world.We took off in a medium sized steamer boat to a few kilometers into the see. It was a wonderful day with a sunny sky,cool breeze and the smell of the fresh sea.All around COCO beach are many more Coconut trees and many more cliffs where you can see some exciting manmade structures.

Catch a glimpse of these - Central Jail with a scenery for the prisoners to die for-top left picture,the diamond merchant's posh villa and the Light House atop the Fort Aguada.(SEE SLIDE SHOW)

While we were screening the waters, we heard a cry and saw a small dolphin swim out of the waters in its characteristic aerodynamic style and dive in. WOW! Splendid was the only reaction I had. It had a perfect slim face with a long nose and those pretty eyes and that pinkish charm that made this animal , the cutest ever.

Three More we spot as they glide in and out of the waters in perfect harmony and in sync with each other. We were mesmerized.The other time , I felt overjoyed was when I had seen the Panda for the first time in China.I could not believe my eyes , I was spotting a dolphin in free natural surroundings.

Then , the ultimate event happens. One DOLPHIN jumps out of the water and twice dives down like an angle.Oh my God..!! I told myself, my journey to Goa was complete!!
