అక్కడి నుంచి బయలు దేరాక బస కోసం చూస్తూ వెళ్తుంటే ఒక పొలం చక్కగా కనిపించింది పాపయేమో పీపీ కి వెళ్లాలీ అనీ అడుగుతోంది కదా సరే అని వెళ్లాం రూం బానే ఉంది కానీ రేట్ ఎక్కువ. బాత్రూం క్లీన్ గా లేదు. ఇంకాస్త ముందుకు వెళ్తే సాయి విల్లా MTDC approved అని కనిపించింది. అక్కడి విజయ్ తో మాట్లాడి అక్కడ సెటిల్ అయ్యాం. వ శివరాత్రి అని క్రికెట్ మ్యాచ్ భక్తి తో చూసి కాసేపు జాగారం చేసాడు. మేము వెచ్చగా నిద్రపోయాం.
ఇక తరువాతి ఉదయం అమ్మ పాప లాన్ లో ఆడుతూ పాడుతూ (చెప్పొద్దూ అందరికీ అక్కడే రోజంతా ఉన్నా పరవాలేదనిపించింది!) కానీ మరి ఈరోజు పంచగని టేబుల్ ల్యాండ్ ఇంకా మిగతా పాయింట్లు చూడాలి కదా అందుకని బయల్దేరాం.
Our first stop was a park with nice views. One obvious and good to find difference between Mahabaleswar and here is its much less commercial. A few snaps later we were on our way to Table land.As usual we were welcomed by a host of over enthusiastic guides horse cart men and a few high spirited guys who volunteered to show us around.
We managed to shoo them off as peacefully as we can except one vikrammark whose perseverance didn't pay. We were thrilled to find more friends with tails while Va was warning and protecting us with a BIG stick we enjoyed the views and visited the cave below and embarked on our journey to the other end. Raj kumar was boo papa's horse greeted by a real Prince cantering off past us.
Had our lunch at the only decent veg place food was OK not so great .
Up next was few more points where I was thrilled to see a movie shoot involving a chopper again some beautiful deadly cliffs here and in one spot we were sickened to see a valley being turned into a dump yard as we also admired a few paragliders before rushing back to the car trying to escape the giant flies.
since venna lake we were on the lookout of a nice boating destination and we heard about Tapola dam and boating there.We decided to try it. There's a historic village Wai in between I would have visited the temples in leisure but now had to be content by photographing them from distance. Sivoham had a nap while we drove and drove and drove but it was soothing to see the fields and the village on either side of the road. We decided to take a break when we saw a farm . I almost chatted the farmer up but Va just wanted to flee the "commercial" place nope not even for the pics of the beautiful cabbage field and flowers and some other curios oh well....
And so we're back on the beautiful path to the tapola dam.
Did we get to boat finally? what else did we do? or didn't in the next piece.
