vasai fort is all unfortunately restored in the most atrocious way. the church has plasterwork obliterating the brickwork and the floor is kota upon the old stone. the mad spiral stair with its complex structure is still mercifully safe. and lunch was in a blue tarpaulin wrapped verandah overlooking the sea. fish and beer.

in nirmal on the other hill (the first being the church seen in a previous post) is the shankaracharya mandir from surrounded by the talavs. the inside is original while the fort like outer wall new.
