A visit to Manora

It was Sunday after noon  of  18th March 2018 that we visited Manora. We left the society office around 4:30 pm  and reached Keamari. There we parked our car in the parking area. There we got a parking receipt of Rs. 50. The person at parking area note down the number plate of car.
After that we entered the Keamari port. In the waiting area there were pigeons and the sellers were selling caps and glasses. After waiting for a while we boarded a boat. The boat had a place to sit in the upper side as well.  We all went up and sat there. The air was cool and the weather was very pleasant.
Then we started moving towards Manora Island. The boat needed fuel so we first went to get the fuel from another ship. After that started our journey towards Manora. We reached the Manora island. There we had to pay the entry fee. The entree fee for adult was Rs. 100 and for a child was Rs. 20. After entering the Manora premises we tool a Suzuki van where all of us sat inside to take us to the beach of Manora. In the middle there was a military check post. We had to get off from the suzuki and passed through the checking door. There were checking of both males and females visiors in seperetae check post. No foreigners is allowed. The security personnales may ask for the CNIC card from the visiots. So it is important to keep CNIC card while visiting MAnora. After crossing the check post we reach Manora beach. The sun was about to set. We went near the waves and played there,
I went to see the temple at Manora. The temple was locked. I took many pictures from outside. The temple was renovated recently. I asked the shopkeeper of a nearby shop that is there any way I can go inside temple. He told that there is a chokidar names Kishan who has the keys. Well, then I thought lets plan it for some other day as the sun was already set and then we have to go/ back as well. In the meanwhile kids had got all their clothes wet. So tries to find out dried clothes for them/ There in the market there was a shop selling fried clothes. Each cloth was of Rs. 50. I purchased the fried clothes for children, Then we went back to Keamari after the boat ride from Manora.
Then we went to parking lot. Kids changed their clothes in the car. Then we went to the fish market and purchased the fish. Red fish that was of Rs. 1000/kg also we bought prawns for Rs. 1600/kg.
The fish was very good. After eating food we came back to home. The boat ride was of Rs. 3500 round trip.
