A year for drives...
That is exactly what this year is looking for me. A new car always has that effect I believe on many new owners. You want to 'test' your car and what better ways than driving along the vast expanses of our country!
So the next trip up is not something which was planned, but it is something which I never imagined myself doing. I always thought it was too difficult, or maybe just not 'me'. A lot many things are changing in me anyways after my marriage to B. Well, that should be another post altogether!
So, we are planning to drive to Trivandrum. This was a planned trip, but the driving bit was not planned. We had intended to book a Tatkal train ticket or maybe take a flight, even though at the last moment. But, reading and looking at the supposed to be great routes on the Bangalore- Salem - Madurai- Nagercoil route and the little frenzy inducing stretch between Nagercoil and Trivandrum, I thought why not try it.
There will be a fair bit of driving and with both of us geared up to use our new car alot, this was a perfect opportunity!

Are you serious! Must be a 12 hr drive. Right?
ReplyDeleteYes, 11 hours is what Google claims.. but I am guessing will be 12 with breaks and the intermittent traffic. Its gonna be one hell of a drive!
DeleteThe road is a dream! We made the drive till Madurai and then to Kanyakumari and drove back up to Kovalam. The roads in TN are amazing :)
