WE GO GO-AAAH!!! (March 11 - 20, 2023), Day 8 - Reis Magos Fort, Aguada Fort and Chapora Fort

 

Just like Kerala, Goa's waterways is serviced by many RORO ferries. However, what makes Goa more unique is their ferry service is free to all on foot passengers and cyclists! Taking advantage of the free service, we took the ferry from Panaji Ferry Terminal to Betim Ferry Terminal, hence saving some leg power across the busy Mandovi Bridge

Chapora Fort.

The Fort, located on a hill, comes with a high vantage point. 

It was not easy to visit the Fort. From the car park area, we have to barge through a parade of stalls on a paved slope. Then there were about 100-120 steps to climb to reach the top
