Sorry for the 2.5 year long hiccup between posts.
I was busy enjoying the car and got very lazy to post regular updates. I would make amends on that front.
Bellissa is nearly 4 and about to touch the magical 50,000 km mark soon.
This small log is from my Homerun (solo trip) between 4th May 2019 and 18th May 2019.
Bangalore to Bokaro Steel City to Purnia to Nepal (Biratnagar, Dharan - shopping, temples) to Purnia to Bokaro Steel City to Bangalore with a trip to Ranchi in between.
Due to Cyclone Fani, I could not take the coastal route and therefore I took Bangalore - Hyderabad - Adilabad - Nagpur - Bhilai - Rourkela - Ranchi - Bokaro Steel City route while going.
Since roads were largely very good throughout, I took the same route on my way back.
Daily driving would be 850-900 km on days 1 and 2 with night halts leaving some 300-350 km for the 3rd day.
Typical starts would be 2 to 3 AM and drive till sunset (almost). Mostly, I'd check in by 5 PM to avoid traffic in late evenings.
Night drives minus traffic after a good sleep and bath are preferable to me.
Bokaro to Purnia was fun with some treacherous roads around Bhagalpur due to accidents/road work and we literally drove through fields.
I drove all the kilometers myself and family, who joined me till Nepal sojourn; had a blast sitting as passengers.
The overall trip was in excess of 5,600 km over 2 weeks and super fun.
The car performed flawlessly and despite being so heavy and me doing some good speeds over 100 with AC always on, the FE returned was over 17.5 kmpl.
I shall add pictures after resizing them in the evening.
