We finally made it to the top of the Kaup Light house this evening. Though it was a tiring climb.. t'was worth all that trouble. The top of the light House has this 105 year old mechanism still intact as new. All in shining brass and the wooden furniture taking you back to the days of the Raj. Take a bet you wont be finished untill you've touched and felt every bit of that nostalgia. Once you're done with that, theres a small door to the side welcoming you to a spectacular view of lush green coastline on one side and the vast expanse of the Arabian sea on the other. And to add to all this today the sun was just about setting....... cud u think of a better setting than this?
With the intense phase of monsoon finally coming to an end, we're having clearer skies now. The Malpe port has also resumed fishing. After returning from the light house, we had dinner and head straight to the fishing port. At 11 in the night the place was teeming with activity and it was almost like a festival (nothing to do with Ganesh Chathurthi tomorrow). Its an amazing sight.. all those fishing boats filled to the brim with fish., at one end the loads of fish being auctioned off and at the other.. the fish being unloaded into trucks filled with huge chunks of steaming ice. Todays catch was mainly the Indian Macarel. We're back now satisfied that it was an evening well spent.
Tomorrow is Ganesh Chathurthi and we've been invited by the KMC Manipal students to the pooja there. Happy Ganesh Chathurthi to all.
