After spending some time we were moving forward to our hotel, on the way I found a beach and right now I don't remember the name of that beach, but it's a good place to spend some quality time. As this is our last point for today and we have so much time so we stay there and started chit chat. But my mind is roaming around the sea waves, I felt like the sea waves are calling me and I don't want to ignore them...
Our Private beach
Me and Neha
I was standing on the beach and looking towards the sea, as far as I can see only water is there, suddenly a wave comes and touches my feet, it seems like it was welcoming me for coming here. I was very happy by such type of welcome and suddenly the child inside me came out and I started playing in the sea waves. With in 5 minutes Jatin, Neha, Anju joined me, and we all were having fun with the waves and spend around 1 hour there. After one hour we came out, and our body and clothes were filled with sand, we try to remove as much sand as we can and after that we were moving towards our hotel. The temperature was so hot that our wet clothes were dry only in the way.
After reaching hotel, we took the shower and clear the sand from our body, after that we have tea. Now we were busy in making the plan for tomorrow, as the hotel room was booked for one day only, so for tomorrow we have to extend the room booking. But at the same time, one more point was there, as we don't stay in the room on the next day because our plan was to spend the whole day on Nagoa beach. The major challenge for us on tomorrow is to take bath after finishing the day and before catching the bus, and for that we need a change room or our hotel room, so we decided to go to Nagoa beach today and we will see whether the change room is available there or not, if available then we will not extend our room. On evening, we were heading towards the Nagoa beach, which is on 8 kilometers distance from our hotel. As per my opinion, the road going towards Nagoa beach is one of the beautiful road in Diu, on the way we saw date trees on the side of the road, Diu airport is also on this road, the location of airport is just on the front of Sea. We can see the Nagoa beach from the airport, this is the only beach in Diu where you can find some good crowd, and the reason for that is - this beach offers different type of water sports, and you can get every thing that make a place a perfect tourist destination. And yes, liquor is allowed in Diu, there are two wine shops available on the Nagoa beach itself.
The energy level of this place was so high, but we hold our heart till tomorrow, as we have to spend a whole day here on tomorrow. After spending half an hour there we decided to go back to our hotel and yes, we don't have to extend our hotel booking as the separate change room for gents and ladies are available here. We were moving forward towards our hotel and on the way we saw a park named as Dinosaur park, which was nearby a beach. Some child was there who come with their parents to enjoy in the park and there were some tourist who are enjoying the sunset from this place. We parked our vehicle there and going inside the park, inside the park a lady was selling corn and we took two pieces and occupy a bench and enjoying the sunset. Sea waves are striking on the beach side stones like they just start flying and will stop the sun from rising. After some time, the sun sets and the moon started appearing slowly, this was a mesmerizing view and I cannot define it in words and I don't want to do so.
Spending some quality time at Dinosaur park
We were still sitting in the same park till 08:00 PM, Diu is a safe place in every aspect for tourist so you can enjoy till late night on any beach. Now we were hungry and tired as well, so we took our vehicles and moving forward to our hotel. After reaching hotel we parked our vehicles in our hotel parking and have dinner and our order was South India food. Its an amazing moment, we were having our dinner in a sea facing restaurant. After having dinner, everybody took an ice cream of their choice from an ice cream shop available nearby and started walking towards our hotel, now all we need is a good sleep.
Day 2:
On next day, we were ready at around 10:00 AM, and after check-out we put our luggage in locker room, we will take our luggage back in the evening, at the time bus arrival. After having breakfast we took out our vehicle and we were heading towards Nagoa Beach, the petrol tank of both the vehicle was full, that's our biggest mistake. The total area of Diu is 40 kilometers and we were having petrol to explore around 100 kilometers, so we were taking random routes to reach there, and at around 11:30 we were at Nagoa beach, parked our vehicle on a proper place and moving towards the beach. We have a big polythene to put our wet clothes and a pair of extra clothing to be used in evening. After reaching the beach, we took some pics as there was no place to put the camera so we have to put the camera in our vehicle diggi only. After photo session we were enjoying the sea waves, we stood in the sea waves again and again and its thrust throw us outside and we again follow the same routine and almost one hour is spent doing this.
U me aur hum, at Nagoa Beach
Me and Jatin want to do the para sailing, so we went to the booking counter, but our luck didn't work, the timing of para sailing is before 1:00 or 02:00 PM, after that strong wind and high tides starts and in that condition it is not possible to manage the parachute. So we moved to some other option and took 2 tickets of Water Ski and 4 tickets of Banana ride. Water ski is an adventurous water sport, in which you have to stand on a plastic board and to hold the rope tied on a speeding boat and along this you have to maintain the balance on the board.
So I am the first person to go on water ski, I remembered all my gods and stood on the board, and my heart was beating very fast at that time. With in few seconds the boat speed increased and I am floating on water smoothly and my fear goes off gradually and now I am enjoying this ride. After covering 1 kilometer, the boat was taking a slight turn to come back and on the same flow I am also trying to maintain the balance, but I slight mistake by me, and on the next moment I had fallen into the sea, my mind was totally blank, I remembered all my good and bad at that moment. The fear of drowning was so much like I don't remember that I was wearing a life jacket and that is designed for such purpose, but fear is on the top of everything, with in a minute the boat man return and he pulled me out and I was on boat, this man is a life saver for me. This man was asking me, how you will go forward? Again on board or in boat? And my reply was board. Because now I know nothing will happen till this life jacket is present on my body, and on the next moment I was again standing on the board and floating on the water and completed the round. Jatin was the next to go, and he successfully completed the round and after that we all 4 were enjoying the banana ride, but at the last of this ride we were again fallen into the sea, and this time we were 4 who thinks like this is our last moment, but nothing happens to us because of life jacket.
Around 2 o'clock, we were starving, so we packed the food from one of the restaurants nearby, and ate it under a palm tree and after that we were again in the sea waves for doing the all stuff again. When I saw the watch next time its 4 o'clock, time was passing like it was flying, we came out and going for shower and change and it took another hour in doing all these stuff. We had our return bus at around 2 o'clock, and it will take another to reach back to the hotel and have dinner and get back our luggage before catching the bus. Around 05:30 we were capturing some last moment in our mind, the light of DIU board on the mountain were switched ON and it was like a superb dessert to end the food.
We were heading towards with a sad mood, after reaching the hotel we did the dinner at a nearby restaurant and after that we took our luggage from the hotel locker room and heading towards the Jetha Bai bus stand, bus will come in half an hour so we just crossed the Diu bridge connecting and parked our vehicle on the road side and stated capturing the moments in our camera.

And after 15 minutes we were again standing on the bus stand, and dialed the number of vehicle owner and he came in 2 minutes and return our security amount and took the vehicle back to the parking. And after few minute bus arrives and we saw this beautiful place one more time and after that we put our luggage in the bus and bus started...
