- Heavenly hour at Ilha de Calma, Diu
Diu is one of the India’s untouched pearl. Like Daman and Goa, Diu was a Portuguese colony until taken over by India in 1961. Along with Daman, it is still governed from New Delhi as a Union Territory rather than as a part of Gujarat.The former colony includes the island of Diu itself, about 11 Kms long by three Kms wide, separated from the coast by a narrow channel. There are also two tiny mainland enclaves.
- On the way to Diu
We reached Diu in the morning and first of all hunted for our resort. Although I had done my homework for the accommodation but wanted to confirm the difference between virtual world and real world of hotels. After lots of back and forth visits along Ghoghla and Nagoa beach, we settled down at Ghoghla beach facing property - Sugati Beach Resort which was actually my choice through virtual hunt.
- Board for sight seeing
After resting for a while, we started our sightseeing trip. Although it was quiet late but we tried our luck. What we noticed was that every little crossing had a beasitiful innovative structure in the middle.
- View of Jail from the fort
Various tourist attractions in Diu are the Diu Fort, Fortress of Panikota, Nagoa Beach, St. Paul's Church, Jallandhar Shrine, Gangeshwar Temple, Diu Museum, Ghoghla Beach and Gomtimata Beach. We selected few sites for the evening.
1. Diu Fort was an awesome structure for which I have written a separate article. It was distinctly visible from far by the sea.
