Trip to Konaseema

Yeah! I'm blogging about my trip to Konaseema at last :)

Patriots please don't hit me :D - I confess that I did not know where in our state this region was till I went for the tour. I did not bother to know where it was even a day before the tour :D Hmm, so obviously I did not expect anything about what I would be seeing.

Me and my colleagues (colleagues :D so funny, a new word that I'll have to be using from now on) started off in the train to Palakollu and from there we headed off to the resorts at Razole by cars. The journey itself was awesome and my eyes popped out of my head looking at the beauty of the place. Oh my God! So much greenery! It felt sooo  good. The Taveras in which we travelled were so luxurious and had TVs (is it called a TV?... I have to clarify). All we gals spent all the time trying to decide what to watch and we finally ended up watching bits of everything and nothing concrete.

The resorts comprised of four villas located RIGHT ON THE BANK of the Godavari. Yippeee!!! And what a view! Breathtaking!

Next stop was a temple on the way to the Antarvedi beach. It was so funny that almost everyone (not me) was in 'beach attire' when we went to the temple :)) .

The beach wasn't that exciting for me as I did not wanna get into the water, but the other gals managed to pull me till I was waist-deep in the water. I got a good taste (sight and smell too) of the sea water when a friend splashed a good amount onto my face :(

The boat ride to the confluence (where the Godavari merges with the Bay of Bengal) was superb. On one side we could see the river flowing smoothly into the sea, and just a few feet away were waves crashing onto the coast. What a wonderful sight!

The next day we went to some gardens, again right on the bank of the river. We had a gala time there and drank loads of coconut water and another boat ride ensued. We walked on the river-bed where the river water was knee-deep and crystal-clear .

On the journey back to Hyderabad, we played games of all sorts and even ate kulfi at a restaurant in the station at Vijayawada. I can say it was the best kulfi I ever had; my mouth is watering as I type this :(

The best part of the trip was savouring the beauty of the place :)
