Acclimitisation:

As part of Acclimitisation, you are given a rucksack and 2 blankets and made to carry them over by walk till Dona Paulo Beach.
This is just to get people comfortable with the idea of carrying a rucksack for the major part of the day.

This seemed like an old fort on the other side of the river, but I have no idea of the name of this fort.

The entire walk was along the beach and was very good.

The Market in Dona Paulo Jetty:

While discussing about goa, Srini reminded us of the fact that a major portion of the tamil film Puthu Puthu Arthangal was shot in Goa, and he can recognise these places. When I recently saw the film again, I was able to recognise most of the places. For example this Dona paulo market will come in the songs and is the most easiest place to recognise.
