| ![]() Actually the really action was in the night, which was impossible for us to capture, because of the rain / slush and the dense forest. |

Oh man, that night will be in my nightmare list for a very long time. I literally thought that it was my last night on the planet earth as the jeep was about to topple twice having 6-7 people in the vehicle. that was one heck of an experience. The jeep had tilted more than 40-50 degrees that too on a corner facing down. I could easily touch the ground sitting in the vehicle. That close it was. I donno how Vijay managed not to topple it. | |

| ![]() So we have left the menace at the turn, where it refused to start. Morning Benji and Prabhu head to the location and finds that the main power line is the culprit, lucky Prabhu has a spare from his scorpio and he fixes it to fire up and drive to the resort. While we waited for this, some of us managed to clean the interior of the vehicle to make it more hospitable. We finally start off somewhere around 1230 pm and convoy proceeds for few kms and again Prabhu's menace starts misbehaving. The fuel pump gets disconnected due to bad wiring. Out comes tow bar from Viji, but its for a gyspsy and fitting it in 540 is not happening. Meanwhile we have managed to get a maruti omni guy get off the road and stuck in the muck. Rajesh tows him out and finally the tow rope goes to menace, pulled by Robi. Rajesh leads the way as a pilot vehicle and we slowly to Munnar some 50+ kms away. Robi is still not trained by Sreeraj so he putters around at 30 km/hour. After few hours we finally reach Munnar at around 330 pm and Robi's friends have arranged for a mech and electrician. As i predicted all this trouble was due to a silly connection and few lose fuses. While vehicle gets attended we have our lunch and finally at 6 pm we start back from munnar! ![]() No it aint over yet ![]() |
