Weekends out Bleshwar2

The hotel was good. not the five star kind but one that overlooked a beautiful misty valley. we deposited the luggage and immediately went to break the fast...a scrumptious feast of uttapas, poha and tea/coffee awaited us....after pushing our stomachs to the limit we set out again...

walking by the single road that connects whole of mahableshwar together. we had juiciest strawberries whose taste still lingered on my tongue. while coming we saw a cute monkey with the biggest tail...
We wandered in mahableshwar market and I set my eyes on the orange fresh carrots with leaves still on them...I thought my lunch was made...

but after we went back to hotel I realized that all this thinking was false. lunch was simple gujrati affair...with its farsaans and bhakris and khichdis and kadhis...

The shortest nap was that I had here...as we set to explore bit more of mahableshwar...and pachgani...of mala jam factory and table lands...pandav gufa...(always wondering what made them so special)...
we clicked photos and Amit treated me with one of the best teas which I had in that gufa...seated on the stool cum woodlog...rustic environement...rustic evening indeed

The last stop was venna lake where we had boat riding. seeing half submerged trees (looking downright eerie) and small buildings...a result of last years heavy rains...

The dusk approached slowly...the mist rising slowly again, giving birth to another pleasant cool night
