Holiday!!!

This weekend we had been to Chikmaglur. After the trip to Mysore last March, we hadn't gone anywhere, so I was eagerly looking forward to this one. This is the last weekend that A has free before his MBA classes start again. So we wanted to make the most of it. We went with another couple, whom both of us knew. We felt it was time we made some couple-friends. Chikmaglur is around 250 kms from Bangalore. We started on Saturday morning and reached there only by lunch time. The drive was great and we stopped at whichever place we felt like. I liked it that all of us were relaxed and unhurried. This was one of the rare times when I enjoyed the journey more than the destination. It was raining the whole of Saturday. Even that didn't dampen our spirits. We played cards and ate a lot of food. The home-stay was known for the food they served.On Sunday we went up the Mullayanagiri peak. The drive got a bit dangerous as we reached the peak. At one point, I was sure we would fall off the mountain.I am afraid of heights and the mountain on one side and cliff on the other was so threatening.All the movie scenes in which cars go off the cliff flashed through my mind. But the view from the top was awesome!! That single view was worth the whole trip. Cool air filled the lungs and it was misty all around.  I didn't feel like coming back. Grudgingly, after A threatened that he would leave me there, I left the place. After that, we started our journey back to Bangalore.
    Already yearning for a holiday again!! . Monday morning blues continue to spillover to Tuesday and I want the weekend to come!!

I leave you with a picture of us having coffee on the roadside dhaba. Will upload  pictures of the place in the next post. Have to get them from the friend. This was the only pic we took from my phone.
