After Lunch we move towards Velha Goa to see old churches. When visiting goa, 1st church always comes to mind is Basilica of Bom Jesus. Very soon we reached to Basilica of Bom Jesus. But bus guide take us to a nearby wax museum. Myself and wife have no interest in wax museum at all, as we already visited a wax museum in Kanya Kumari few years back. So we skip that and told bus driver to pick up us from Basilica bom jesus area. We straight move towards Basilica of Bom Jesus. It is a very famous church. St. Francis Xavier remains still in the church. We took a guide tour, who told all whereabouts of church and take us to whole church area and we understand the history related to church and goa.
