(^40) Malvan – Vengurla Beach – 40 km
As idyllic as the place was, we loaded up and, four kilometres further, found a
ferry operating across a river. As envisaged, the day was marred by blistering
heat and steep hills. Amanda claimed she had to push her bike up six hills
within twenty-five kilometres, and kept mumbling, “This isn’t for me” and “I’m
going to take a bus”. By then, I had heard those statements so many times they
rolled from me like water off a duck’s back and I was sure she would do just
fine.
Vengurla offered lodging, albeit below our standards. Still, we booked in
because I feared Amanda would throw her bike in the ocean if she had to cycle
up another hill. Apparently, the beds were good, as we barely set foot in the
room before my sister was fast asleep. After her nap, it was beer o’clock, and
we headed to the seafront to enjoy the sunset.
