Did water activities in Malvan, 28 March 2024

Today was our last day in Malvan, so we decided to indulge in water sports. We headed to Chivla Beach in the morning around 7:15 after pre-booking the activities the previous night. Although it was past 7, the sun had yet to appear. We boarded the boat and were taken to see dolphins, spotting only a few. Later, we visited a very small island covered in shells and collected some as souvenirs.Our guides shared stories about other small islands we saw, which are now just broken stones.

By 9 am, we returned to the hotel, had breakfast, and changed into our swimwear for the water activities.

Back at Chivla Beach, we experienced scuba diving for the first time. The water was clean and calm, providing an enjoyable experience. However, we couldn't dive together as it wasn't allowed. We were provided video clips of our diving experience, featuring small, cute fishes. Next, we tried parasailing, with me opting for a deeper experience while bubbles kept it simple due to fear(Jk). Some people on the boat vomited due to the motion. Following that, we tried jet skiing, which ended quickly as we were only passengers, not riders. Then came the banana ride, where we were tossed into the water twice, but swimming wasn't an issue for us. Lastly, we tried another activity, the name of which I can't recall, but it was also enjoyable. After a day full of fun, I caught a cold, so we returned to the hotel around 5 or 6 pm, took a bath, and had dinner and fell asleep.

A Cozy Night at Si Nonna’s: Pizza, Croquettes, and a Surprisingly Heartwarming Gelato

Recently, I visited Si Nonna’s again. I hadn’t planned on going back, but it just happened. It was a very cold night, and I was craving pizza, so we decided to go there. This time, we ordered pizza number 4, which consisted of fior di latte mozzarella, ricotta cheese, blue cheese, aged parmesan, homemade jalapeño salsa, homemade cherry tomato confit, fresh basil, and EVOO. We also ordered mozzarella and jalapeño croquettes. First, the croquettes arrived. They were okay, but not great. The filling was small, and there wasn’t enough of it, so I wasn’t particularly impressed. Then, our pizza came. We added a little more olive oil and tried to do a cheese pull, but it didn’t work out as expected. However, the taste of the pizza was really good — flavorful and satisfying. Although we were pretty full, there’s always room for dessert, right? I saw gelato and decided to try some. I ordered Sicilian pistachio gelato. It turned out to be delicious — so tasty from the very first bite. I stil...

Time to go back, Spent half day in Kolhapur 29 March 2024

Our Malvan trip ends here. We had breakfast and then headed to Kolhapur, and later Pune. Initially, we had a train scheduled for the night from Kolhapur to Pune, but it got cancelled. Therefore, we decided to stay in Kolhapur for a day. Since there were no buses available directly from Malvan to Kolhapur, we opted to go to Kankavli first, where we could find buses to Kolhapur. We arrived in Kolhapur in the afternoon, checked into the hotel, freshened up, ordered misal, which we thought would be spicy but turned out to be good, and then proceeded straight to the Mahalaxmi Mandir. Due to it being Friday, there was a large crowd, and we ended up waiting in line for about 20-30 minutes. After having our darshan, we returned to the hotel as it was already 8pm. We had a light dinner at the hotel and then went to sleep, as our bodies needed to recharge after thoroughly enjoying our time in Malvan. Xoxo ❤️ Gujjugirl

Enjoying the day before the trip to Malvan (24 march 2024)

Today, we are going to Kolhapur at night by train because we have plans for Malvan, but before that, we are going to spend a day in Pune. However, as usual, my boy was late to wake up, which made us late in Pune. Consequently, our BBQ reservation got cancelled, and I was upset because I had been wanting to eat BBQ for a long time. Nevertheless, he arrived by 1:30, and then we went directly to watch the movie 'Madgaon Express'🎥, which was funny and humorous. Well, we had planned two movies for the day, as we didn't know what else to do for the whole day. The next show was at 6 pm. So, now the problem was that since he got late, we hadn't had lunch, and both of us were very hungry. Luckily, we had an hour before the second movie started, so we went to Si Nonna's for the first time to have some pizza. Initially, we thought of having roti sabzi, but I was not in the mood for that, so I persuaded him😀😀. Upon entering Nonna's, we checked the menu and didn't un...
