December 28: Lake views and preparations for the last leg. To Vadodara... 365 kms
Late morning wake up with a phone call. The Packers had arrived in Bangalore. Our new home beckons us. It felt fresh already. New life ahead mate a fresh new start at what I wanted to do professionally. So now that Jaisalmer stay cut and now the Udaipur full house was nudging us to move on... Probably time.
So just a cursory view around Udaipur town and the lakes and palaces we were bound towards Vadodara...
The only memorable part of this drive was the 100 odd kms of a six lane super highway between Ahmedabad and Vadodara. No cycles, two wheelers, three wheelers allowed. Only cars. And while the signs mentioned some 90 (or was it 100) kms/hr top speed, traffic was oblivious to the signs and ripped at 150 kms. So did we. And we were at our destination early evening!
Checked into a reasonable place. Went around town a bit. This was, well, just another town! So we tried to find a place for getting the local fare. Heavens were blessing us we found this joint called Kansaar... This most amazing place served hot Gurati food the whole range of it... the waiters made sure you were stuffed before leaving and their language of communicating for a refill on plate? Snap! Yup snapping fingers and feeding the hungry... eating there was intoxicating.
Well that kinda brings me to the last but one lap next day.
