Traveling is good
We , walked uphill and reached a lonely, newly built cottage which was uninhabited at that moment. We sat on the porch of the cottage and watched the color of the sky slowly changing as the sun started descending. The valley down below looked so beautiful. Smoke was coming out of the chimneys of some mud huts. The villagers have lit up the chulhas

Finally the Gods rescued us and we found a (good) restaurant right on the beach, a perfect ambience and the sea-breeze in our hairs. We ordered quite a number of dishes- mainly chicken as I am unable to ingest the typical seafood like Mr. H or his friends or my friends.

We reached Shasta around 3.30 pm. It is a very small town and I must say a weird place. The downtown market had numerous gift shops but unlike any other place, these gift shops were actual selling crystals and angel miniatures.

I was ready with my camera, wiped the lens twice, removed the gloves and positioned myself stood high on the rear seat resting my back properly. Looking around with extra vigil eyes for more than 10 minutes discovered no sign of any big cat. Relaxed and confirmed of my hard luck again I reclined my stiff body to the iron bars of the gypsy and lazily looked at a pair of peacocks marching past close to our gypsy.

The view from underwater is breathtaking. Corals, oysters, sea weeds, colored fish ┬аand the surrounding blue water is mesmerizing. Touching endangered species such as corals are ┬аnot allowed. The best part of the sea walk actually came when we fed pieces┬аof bread to┬аthe ┬аfish. As soon as you hold up the bread pieces, fish of different colors gather around you and it does get a bit ticklish but it is definitely a wonderful experience. ┬аAfter 20 minutes of ┬а“seawalking”, the divers ┬аescorted us back up to the pontoon. When you climb up, one is likely to experience ┬аthe pressure factor again . At the end of it, the whole experience leaves you spellbound and the sparkling blue water always tantalizes you to go back underwater.
