Pune - Bangalore Trip
Awesome Trip to cherish all my life time !
Sorry for not mentioning much in my previous blog regarding the route and distance covered and minute details for a new comer to start the journey safe.
I started my journey from Pune on 3rd Novembe 2010 at 4.45 am - passing Satara,Kolhapur,Nipani,Belgaum,Hubli,Haveri,Davangere,Haveri,Chitradurga,Tumkur,Neelmanagla and then finally Bengaluru at 6 pm, but the traffic after that was pathetic (bad) as it took 2 hrs for me to touch Kammanhalli from Yeshvantpur outer ring circle road.
We stayed for 5 days in which we travelled to Mysore, Sister Aunty's place( Fraser Town) & Bangalore City - with its garden, zoo, park, observatory and shopping lanes in Bangalore.
It was a reliever's trip, just the drive has made my leg sprain a lot as still going with it.
Hope to make a different trip next year to a different place - till then watch out for the space.

Pune - Bangalore - Car Drive
A awesome experience of highway driving skills as all weather touched at natures best.
We started the journey at 04.45 am from Pune through Pune-Bangalore expressway, at a speed of 100-110 kms, morning by 8 we had breakfast & cleared Kolhapur, as by 1 pm -we were at Haveri for lunch break at Punjabi Deol Highway Dhaba clearing 541 kms, then started for the end part of drive to Bangalore touching by 6 pm, as through out Karnataka, rains were at its worst stage with heavy & small drizzling. But the greatest journey to inform is the last part to enter the city to reach Kamanhalli took me 2 hours straight - pathetic traffic as we reached at the worst traffic congestion time ( 6 to 8 pm).
Its almost a 850 kms drive & total money spend in toll plaza is Rs.500/- in 13 hours, but the highways road were at its best for the price we paid. We had to fill in the the petrol tank twice as petrol in Karnataka is costly by Rs.5 per litre. Its almost four lane road till Belgaum and after Hubli to Haveri its a two lane road then again opening in patches four & two lane roads as work is still in progress in almost some parts, we can say that almost 85% work on the Golden Quadrangle is done.
We were saved by a small accident as a KRSTC bus took a left turn on the same highway without indicators. Rest all drive was smooth as Amul butter, but alertness is a must on this road for all diversions to be taken care.
What more to say - had a splendid drive in all , as all enjoyed the bit & bytes as we took almost 6 breaks all over at all major IOC petrol pumps.Specially Jason & Sandra enjoyed the full driving spell.
Tomorrow - Mysore drive !
