Took a boat ride in the Nainital Lake. The sun shining bright on the head, surrounded by cool breeze, with sprinkles of water coming out on your face and the Natures beauty all around - it was heavenly.
We spent the noon around the lake and then pushed off as Corbett falls were also on the list. Stopped at a Dhaba for lunch which actually killed an hours time. Baby dozed off, it was noon time she had to take her nap. Wife proposed that we drop going to the corbett falls and go to the resort. I had to agree. Dropped my parents at the resort and left the baby with them (yes she was still sleeping). Me and wife now took off for a little bit of shopping spree in the local souvenir shops. Did some shopping, had a glass of sugarcane juice and we were back.
The evening was again quite, with me and my beer quitely sitting in the balcony relishing the music going on near the pool. Till my mom and wife offered me some massage. The ladies did appreciate that I was driving quite a bit, plus managing other things like carrying the baby wherever required plus arranging for a lot of other things. Maybe this was their way of acknowledging my effort. The fun was when my mom was massaging my right arm, wife the other and my baby joined in to massage my head. O she is so cute - all kids are.
Had dinner and then off to bed. One thing I must mention here that this resort had the most delicious food ever. It was just too good.
Day 3 : Tuesday - 20th May 2014
It was the last day in Corbett. Though we did want to extend one day and I spoke to the manager also the previous night, but the resort was completely sold out. We thought that we will check out and then go to the Garjiya Mandir and the river side and then start our journey back to Delhi from there only.
Within 5 minutes, we were at the temple. Mom and dad preferred to sit in the temple premises, wife me and the little one went for some nice time in the river side.
It was a nice feeling to sit in the cold flowing water looking at the fishes from a few inches. The fishes were a plenty swimming around your feet.
We just sat inside the river, enjoyed the beauty of nature, splashed water on each other and just had fun. An hour later we felt that the thirst for enjoying the beauty of nature has been satiated and we could start off our journey back to home.
On the way back we felt that our bodies were moving towards Delhi but probably we had left our souls behind somewhere. Maybe thats the reason we did not mind the bad roads of Kashipur to Moradabad on the way back.
Stopped at Udupiwala some 15 kms before Gajraula and this guy serves you one of the best south indian food. We had just randomly stopped but later realised that the halt couldn't have been better.
We started from Jim Corbett around 1215 hours and reached Indirapuram around 1730 hours. The office traffic had started to built up. All the Noida and Ghaziabad Offices must have just closed so the number of cars/ two wheelers constantly seemed to proliferate.Took us another 2.5 hours to reach our home in Dwarka, Delhi. It was a wonderful journey with a wonderful family full of wonderful experiences.
Few more pictures and I complete my first travelouge. Thanks for reading
