[Goanet] Welcome to Goa -Pomburpa
Thanks to JoeGoaUK, I was momentarily transported back to that 'haven of peace' - the Spring at Pomburpa which I visited on my last trip to Goa.It brought back many memories of my childhood days especially since Pomburpa is not far from my own village of Salvador-do-Mundo(Saloi), and the Spring that we used to go to quite often. A breath of fresh air on goanet! Mervyn
Re: [Goanet] Welcome to Goa - Pomburpa
Yesterday, I had occasion to visit Pomburpa Church, to attend a funeral. What struck me most about Pomburpa is the lush green forest covering the valleys and the hills. No mega projects,.no gated communities, no high rise buildings nothing. The vaddos are remote and peaceful. A wonderful church (1590 according to the inscription and dedicated to "Martris Dei", with caves beneath the church and tunnels which supposedly used to lead to Salcette), a lovely spring located in a Kullahar near the Church. A throwback to the Goa of yore. If there is a last Bastion of Green Goa, then this must be it.

Re: [Goanet] Welcome to Goa: Pomburpa
Dear all, Thanks for the various comments received (4 in all). Some of you may not be aware that Goa Govt/Tourism has recently sanctioned Rs.80,00,000 for the beautification of the Pomburpa Spring. So, do make it a point to visit the spring say after 6 months. Now, what I really love to know is about the tunnel or 'bumyar' under the church. Would apreciate if some writes back a few lines on the 'bumyar or Cave' Thanks in advance. here are some pics of the Church http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk1/2608061365/sizes/l/ The 3 openings on top of 3 windows, each has bee-hive (honey bees) in it, I don't know if you can see it - can u? Pic did not come out good or bright as it was a cloudy or a rainy day - it rained in just 3 minutes after. http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk1/2608891396/sizes/l/ A view from the different angle with staircases etc http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk1/2608062121/sizes/l/ The video (Repeat) http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=hRaBLn_EpnM [EMAIL PROTECTED] for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://youtube.com/joeukgoa __ Sent from Yahoo!
