Back from Mysore

The trip went off very well. Driving is a pleasure in the morning: the roads are half empty, the morning breeze lifts you up, you sail through in 5th gear for most part of the journey. Coming back was a different kettle of fish, though. We stopped at a couple of places (Ranganathittu and Channapattana) and got delayed a bit. Took over an hour to navigate through the various half built flyovers in Bangalore, which was the most tiring part.

Charu and Harsha were quite happy we made it for the wedding. The lunch was not bad - quite a few sweets which I enjoyed. We could have had roast pork for lunch too, when a pig tried a suicide attack on our car, near Ramanagaram. I had to swerve and avoid it, more's the pity.

Rachu enjoyed the journey. We took her on a boat ride at Ranganathittu. I was slightly apprehensive but Sindha managed to convince me it was safe. The kid didn't really notice the difference between the boat and the car, until halfway when she saw that she was being held very close to water. She was fascinated after that, kept staring at the paddles and the way they cut through water.

We covered a total of 343 km yesterday - I still see trucks coming at me.
