Christmas Vacations- Day2- Karwar

We left Dandeli at 8am on 25th Dec to go to Karwar. We had our booking done in "The Great Outdoors" private Island resort. We had a group of friends whom we were joining there. They came by sleeper coach as the kids were too wired to travel by car. We had breakfast on the way and reached Karwar at 11am. We went to the jetty and the boat was waiting to take us to the island. Our friends who were with us in Dandeli had not got the booking in the island but someother resort. They dropped us to the boat and went on their way. The boat ride to the island was about 20 minutes. We reached the island and our friends had already settled there and gone to the beach. I just fell in love with the place at first sight. Wherever u turned, you just saw a vast expanse of clear blue water. It was so calm and peaceful there like the time had stilled completely. I never checked my phone for time for the 3 days we were there. We had sumptuous buffet lunch, rested for a while and went trekking to the beach. we had to walk across and down the island to go to our own private beach. It was simply out of this world. it was more like a small beach with huge rocks on both the sides and there are no huge waves and the water is not salty at all. We could just leave the kids also to play without any worries. We were there till about 6pm and then started the trek back up which was really tiring with 3 small kids in tow. We finally made it to our tents and took bath and changed. There was a camp fire and gud food. The kids were also on their own. It was very easy for all of us to feed the kids and be done with it. finally we settled in for the night with the sounds of the night which is difficult to find here in the middle of the concrete jungle :-)
