Previous	Home	next

Full view of the temple...


The Moti Fort is jus on the other side of the river... Passed thru the little, strong bridge... jus withing the fort we saw
these.......


The roots ve been cut down to give way.....

A renovated Church..




Then to Jampore beach... the bikes were not allowed on the beach and my frnd was a strict no no to break the law... hmmm..
so parked them and walked in... The Beach was real surprise.. I would ve that it had '0' waves.. I went in some 100m and
the depth jus incresed say by 10+ inches... hmm now I know why the Kerala and TN beaches are soo famous...
Found a shade there and jus relaxed....





We returned to hotel by 1.. We quickly checked the maps and targetted to reacha beach near Surat for the sunset.. Packed

the liquids and took off quickly... Reached Surat by 6.. the roads were very congested near Surat.. and it was here We
noted the First change of Spelling Ahmedabad.. we stopped and inquired for the beach.. hmmm we should ve taken a
deviation some 10 kms back... then we asked where can we see the sunset.. 'Suraj dhaeknae kaeleyae hum log agayaa' I tried
my skills.. and the man immediately said.. 'aagae.. tapi river sae javoo'.. was happy that I got the answer and.....



Check the reflection.... I love this...


Solitary rower


After a scintillating sunset at tapi.. we started our journey towards ahmedabad.. Hey I forgot to tell U... its near Surat that we saw some modified bullets... They had a complete free flow exhst... increased ground clearance and excellent torque... To add to these they are diesel powered.... Wondering wat are those......
here it is... Presenting U the all new REs...



I never knew that it had so much torque that it was some 50 sacks of cement and a pulling cart was tied above the sacks...


The traffic after Surat was horrible... lot of constructions going on.. we let our bikes ride where ever there was a gap.. mainly on the left muddy patches.. after almost 3 hrs of ride.. we reached Vadodara.. We both were little tired but reaching kharaghoda the next day from vadodara before sunset will be tough.. so decided to crash at Anand.. the Roads after Vododara was smooth.. but it was jus 2 lane.. a good number of trucks.. but they left ample space for me to take from the left.. honked well before I took them on left.... and we were in Anand in no time...
Finding a hotel at anand was diffcult.. there was marg going on.. so all rooms on the highway were full.. then after a hrs reach we found another hotel some 3 kms away... Just check the menu card...
