Toys for Men

It was time for some off roading action again. Not the hills like last time..but at the beach. Headers was at it with some beautiful circles in the sand and climbing dunes. Arka was there as always .




Then it was time to view the beauties that came here on a different purpose. The 612 Scagliettis were catching up along with a Fiat 500 and a Iveco that had escorted them along the tour. Some more pics are on my Flickr.

The Bridge on the River.....

Kwai ? No ! Its Godavari, in AP, India. I was here last weekend and got a chance to go on the famous boat ride. The boat ride to Papikondalu is 60kms. We got on the boat at around 930AM and came back at around 8PM. ( Breakfast and lunch included. )
The tents in the pic here is made of bamboo. There is one package tour with AP Tourism that lets you stay in those tents. And yeah, no electricity, fear of a sudden flood, all this are a part of the adventure. Not sure if it really floods though.


There are villages on both sides of the river. Many of them totally unexplored. Some of them have to use the river for daily transport. So their daily Merc is actually a boat
The really long bridge is an awesome sight, when one part is covered by the early morning mist. This bridge has a road on the top and a railway track below. Very nice to look at. BTW, this can be done on a weekend ( from Chennai ) Provided, you have confirmed booking.
