In my opinion, everyone should know their limits. A person without any experience in climbing mountains or rocks should never attempt to conquer places like Guna caves. Those people themselves created the accidents. We cannot blame the place alone. For your information, we saw one youngster falling down from the tree roots. Maybe he was trying to be a Tarzan. Didn't you see the snap? That place is so slippery. He was still crying out in pain when we left. I am sure he had a foot fracture. And one more thing, he was wearing chappals!! So if a person is not careful and tries to cross his limits, he can meet with a fatal accident in his own backyard! @naganathan. We wanted to go to Berijam lake. But decided against it as our icecream guy told us that the route was bad after the rains. I did not want to test my tyres again! We did not go inside the forest near Moir point.

| Senior - BHPian | The Final Frontier!!! After finishing off all the important points, we returned back to the city. We were quite tired after the long walks at different points. We went to our favourite Tibetan restaurant and had a delicious Chinese lunch. After our lunch and a well deserved rest, we decided to go for boating. There were lots of private and government run boat houses around the lake. We decided to go to TTDC Boat Club. We hired a row boat. The boatman rowed us around the lake and also gave us interesting information about the owners of some of the beautiful bungalows there.        He also took some good snaps of my Wifey and I. We really enjoyed the boat ride.    We saw a small duckling swim past us. She was over speeding!!!  We could capture some wonderful views and also got some awesome snaps of the clouds. I think I have a fascination towards clouds. Ever since ‘I walked on the Clouds’ in Bhutan, I spend hours trying to photograph different cloudscapes, wherever I go!      After our stint with the boat ended, we went back to where we had parked our car. Our Chevy was patiently waiting for us.  We wanted to try something adventurous. We hired a Tandem cycle from a vendor near the Tibetan shops, near Bryant’s Park. I knew that I would not be able to cycle for long distances due to a past hamstring injury which had also forced me to quit football. We decided to cycle till the TTDC boat house and then return. I took the front seat and Wifey jumped in behind me. She was not too sure of her balance. We started pedalling and enjoyed feeling the cool air caressing our faces. I pedalled at a leisurely pace. But I was surprised to see that the cycle was speeding down the incline. I stopped pedalling and thought of cruising. But there was no change in the speed. I turned back to see what my better half was doing. I was shocked to see her pedalling furiously with all her might.  I burst out laughing and told her to slow down and to follow my rhythm. She told me that she pedalled fast to avoid any strain on my leg. She also feared that we might lose our balance if the cycle slowed down. I was very touched by her concern. We finally reached the boat house and parked our ‘limousine’ and had tea and snacks. The shopkeepers were smiling when they saw us. They had been seeing us coming in our Chevy to have ice creams almost everyday. It must have been a funny sight seeing us cycle.  We returned back to the cycle shop. The vendor took our snaps with our steed.    We were really happy that we could finally conquer ‘the final frontier’!!! Whenever my wifey mentioned that she wanted to cycle, I had always backed out! We then returned to the town. I captured an amazing sunset. I had never seen anything like that!    We had a continental dinner from Hotel Hill Top’s bakery. Wifey was very happy with our experiences that day. Her smile said it all!  Last edited by Chevy_lover : 24th October 2009 at 15:29. |

I love reading your comments and I put in that extra bit of effort in my writing, knowing that you really enjoy my narration. I promise to make my thread as interesting as possible. It is because of readers like you, that I spend close to five hours a day fine tuning my narration and uploading my photos. Coming back to your comment, I never realised that wifey remembered about my recurring injury, till I saw her pedalling like crazy. If she was in a race, she would have beaten Lance Armstrong too!!! She was absolutely brilliant that day! I will think of a cycling trip next time, if you promise to bear my hospital expenses! I might require a surgery if I mess up my Hamstring again! I don't know if anyone else is really enjoying my thread. I see very little responses from others.  Last edited by Chevy_lover : 24th October 2009 at 17:12. | |

Dear CL, Trust me your posts are lively and thanks a lot for taking such an immense effort. It took me and my fiancée almost all 5 hours to read the complete thread along with some wonderful pictures. All along we were imagining ourselves in those pictures. Thanks a lot for inspiring to take a long trip shortly. Regards, Vikram Last edited by vikram.vns : 25th October 2009 at 18:47. | |
