The plan was to leave at 6 am... Ya right... That's happening :P :P. Finally we left our day 1 pitstop, at about 7 am, destination NTPC power plant. The plan was to get to NTPC old guesthouse which will be our Day 2 pit stop , before 11 am so that we can change and go site visit NTPC. Since we were cycling hard to get to the guest house on time we did not stop much except for certain special senarios. Ask Neeraj, he will give you more details. Day 2 pictures should give you a fair idea... :P Anyway , we stopped at allapey snaped some pics. We were stopping very frequently and hence took a lot of time to get to the guest house. We got there at about 11am,took a quick shower and went for the visit NTPC. Underneeth we are still hard core engineers, so this kind of oppertunity cannot be missed. Just as soon as we got to NTPC, it started raining, real hard, like it always raining in Kerala.We were like, ohh.. what will we do if it turns out to be the same way tomorrow, but the rains did not last for more than an hour, thankfully. Our visit did not last long because of the rain. Nevertheless, we would like to thank everyone who showed us around at the NTPC plant. We got back to the guesthouse at around 2 pm, after having lunch at their canteen. We had lot of time to spare but we were just resting at the guesthouse, Neeraj was getting cramps :P and I was not :P. Look who has cramps and who does not :P The Internet is also very slow so the pics uploading also will not happen today (I am not sure whether this blog will go online on time). We was standing outside the guesthouse hopping to get a decent internet connection when a bunch of kids turned up. They were curios about what we were up to and the situation ended up with each one of them test riding the bikes. I am pretty sure we have done significant advertisement for Hercules brand :)
Seriously apologies for the delay in the pics turning up online. The data card is seriously slow. So slow that it takes me about 2 hours to upload this text to the blog and there is no cell range inside the guest house. Tata Indicom does not have decent internet speed outside Cochi city limits.
Tomorrow- We are heading to kollam about 60 kms from here.Will set out early. Atleast at kollam , lets hope the indicom services are better... Till then.. adios
