Agreed. But of course, it depends on where the journey starts in Salcete or Bardez to get to Marmagoa. From the bottom end of Salcete, the journey always seemed impossibly long for me.
Anyway I note your corrective and say thanks.

Cornel,

Marmagoa (or Mormugão as it was known then) is closer
to Salcette than it is to Bardez :-)).  Bardez-kars
have to go across to Ilhas thence to Mormugão.

An interesting map:
