(mis) adventures
hey hi all... oops sorrie for the late post... have been real busy... i know u guys missed me loads.... aww i missed all of u too... loadssssssssss.... but as u know i was away... so heres my post on my trip to the queen of hill stations in maharashtra... mahableshwar...
whenever anyone speaks of mahableshwar the first things that come to my mind are strawberries and mulberries... yummy.... the best u get in india i guess... its a lovely hill station nestled in the sahayadri mountains... quiet and serene and beautiful... known as the honeymoon spot around mumbai... theres a pretty lake called lake venna where u can do some boating... its also known for horse riding ... n ofcourse... the best is the sweet corn here.... yummyyyyyyyyy... but enough about the place... let me tell u what i was upto there...
day 1 saturday : morning 5.30 we left for the place... its about 6.5 hrs drive if u take ur car... but as we left a little early we reached in say 5 hrs :D... psst 120 kms/hr drive on the mumbai - pune expressway helped a lot... hehehe... awesome drive.... we had booked a hotel from mumbai so we didnt have ny tension of searching for a place there... (urghhhhhhhhhh biggest mistake).... damn when we reached the place we found that the hotel was 12 kms away from ny sort of civilization... duh n i should mention here that there were 2 cemeteries on the way too.... awww k00kie i remembered ur post on spirits... heheh... so i asked ra to change the hotel... but unluckily it was saturday n every place was full... so that night we had to spend at this creepy place... duh!!!!!!.... lol n u know what??? i woke up in the middle of the nite n the place was pitch dark... i was like "raaaa wake uppppppppp i think i have gone blind... i cant see nything".... hehehe he asked me to shut up n goto sleep... awww me hugged him tight n went to sleep :p... urghhh forgot to mention wat we did all day... we went to venna lake... (i wasnt keen on boating so skipped that)... got onto a horse n rode for a while... whoaaaaaaaaa i love riding.... went to some other well known places n then bak to the hotel early... didnt want to risk meeting some spirits on the way rite??? ;)
day 2 sunday : woke up early.. packed everything and left the creepy place... sigh!!!... checked into a better hotel... nice rooms... nice place... went shopping that day... went for a drive again n then back to venna lake... we sat there watching the fog swirling about... was nice n cool then... very beautiful n serene.... oooooo n very romantic... back to hotel... watched tv... uh ohhh it started rainging... he wasnt well too... had a bad bad cold... duh!!!....grrrr my secret plans were gonna go down the drain... hmm yeah yeah i know u must b wondering wat plans... awww come on it was a secret rite... so m not telling as of now... read on...
day 3 monday : again up early... sigh!! it had stopped raining... got to get the plan into action... morning went to panchgani... thats again a hill station some kms away... quieter than mahableshwar... had lunch there... got bak to the hotel... rested a while... when i knew he was sleeping i went out to the market for some shopping... got bak... stowed everything i had got in the car... woke him up n asked him to take me out... so we went to this awesome place called lodwic point... its high up n u can see only valleys around... very beautiful... n then it was action time...
aww ok lemme tell u wat i did... had a champagne picnic arranged for him :))))... hmmm both of us r non drinkers... but luckily i got some non alcoholic champagne in one of the shops there... grape n peach flavor... so y not?? :D.... got out the glasses... champagne... n toased... "cheersssssssssss"... lol we drank like crazy people... finished the whole bottle between the two of us... n since it was a monday no one was around... so blasted the music... danced... sang.... got some pics clicked... n thn got out the pastries n chocolates... lol yeah even the fererros... heh my parties n picnics r incomplete without fererros... :D.... yummy...... n then i gave some cards, a gift too n ofcoz flowers.... n he was like "wowwwwwwwww".. heh... surprise surprise... uh oh then it got real foggy... so we had to wait while till the fog cleared... 10 mins... n then we drove back... picnic over :((... had a pathetic headache... lol ok not coz of champagne... my head was throbbing since morning... went to the hotel n slept at 8 30... heh n i slept all nite... crappy headache... urghhhhhhh...
day 3 tuesday : hmm was up early again... quite fresh... had to leave so got the packing done... checked out of the hotel... n got ready for the long drive home... urghhhhhh the roads were bad... we took the other shorter route to mumbai... lol n it took us 6.5 hrs to get home... duh!!! shorter???.... n was i tired.... but then had to go out for the evening... navratri (festival of dance in india) had started.... so got home slept for a while.... n then out again for dancing :D... oooo la la :))))
hmmm so mayb my next post would b on navratri.... lets see...
so heres all i did... adventures as well as misadventures... but it was fun... n we had a great time... 23rd to 26th we r going out again... awww not alone... this time family trip.... lol guys miss me ok... heh...
