Hyderabad - Bangalore:

As we were already very hungry and could not stop in Hyderabad also because of the confusion about roads, we started searching some fruit shops eagerly. Shweta was angry because I showed many juice shops and fruit shops but didn’t stop anywhere. Finally god heard the poor souls and we saw many fruit shops on our side of roads, we attacked literally. We bought apples, grapes, bananas everything there as there was no hope of getting anything else. Meanwhile we were surviving on the juices and fruites we were carrying from Lucknow.

As everybody who travelled the road between Hyderabad and Bangalore would vouch, Shweta was very happy to drive on this road. I put Rs 500 in the coin pocket and told her it will be useful. She said why so much money, I laughed and went to enjoy another nap. Next two hours went on smooth and there were few murmurs from Shweta about the toll getting collected but otherwise road is smooth as silk(Siddhuism J).

At 3:30 we again stopped at one of the roadside Dhabas and we had tea which was very costly for the setup but it was refreshing so purpose was served.

Shweta had a timetable and was following it up and tried to cover next 200 kms till 5:30 PM and she was very close to that when we reached a Toll gate at 5:30 and we see a Dhaba just near that. This was the time when sun was nearing the horizon and we again decided to have tea at BP dhaba and refuel our jumbo too. This was the time when I took over the car. Bangalore was still close to 380 kms from here so I was worried about what time we would reach. This forced me in hitting the higher RPMs again and we were cruising at 130-140 continuously.

At 8:15 we were reached Bangalore and touched the outer ring road and from there the tiring journey to our house started. Shweta was sleeping all this while as she was tired after all she drove a long way today. Whole of Outer ring road was jammed because of lot of cars, cabs and buses by which people were returning home. A huge jam was waiting for us post marathalli and we could reach home only at 9:45 PM. The last meter reading for this journey was 2046.4 km.

Two hungry souls who survived on fruits and juices for whole day reached home and saw Kuttu poori and Sabji  ready and that was a great feeling… Thanks to Rani we enjoyed the food and thanked God for his kindness who allowed us to achieve a long time dream.

In the day 2 journey we covered 1108 kms in 15 hrs and 45 mins.

Jumbo covered 5040 Kms starting from Bangalore and reaching back to Bangalore in these 12 days, a great achievement for any car I would say.
