13th August, 2011

From today onwards its a straight ride back home.

We started the day by dumping our bikes at Probiking by 9am. All our bags were in the hotel and we had now good 3 hours to kill.

So we decided to visit the famous Rock Garden in Chandigarh.

We took a Rickshaw from the workshop and in 10 minutes we were at the place.

Bought the tickets and straight went in. The entire place is really made of rocks. One good thing I liked is they have made it in such a way that you have to be on one pathway only otherwise its so big that one can get lost.

We took so many photos here but I’m uploading only a few which I liked.

After finishing till the end we were sweating so had some drinks and ice cream. And gave our feet little rest.

By 11.45am we were out of the park and took a rick back to the hotel.

It was almost noon now and it was close to checkout time.

So we dropped Anahita at the hotel and Angelo and I went to the showroom to check on the bikes.

Mine was ready and Angelo’s was almost done.

We cleared the bill and rode back to the hotel. Anahita was ready and packed up everything.

We mounted our luggage and were on the highway by 2pm.

We rode non-stop till Ambala and found a decent place where we can have lunch.

Lunch was all veg for a change.

By 4pm after lunch our target was to cross Delhi any how.

We did a non-stop ride to Delhi entrance from this side. Took a 10mins break and again made a long stretch all the way across Gurgaon. Back to that famous McDonald on NH-8.

This non-stop riding made us hungry very quickly. We grabbed ourselves couple of bites and were looking down the highway hoping to cover atleast 100kms before we check in to a place for the night.

The road had little traffic but we managed to cover 110kms to reach a town where we found a comfortable clean stay.

Cleaned up and went straight to bed as it was a long day.

Tomorrow we had to catch up with our friends from MBC at Udaipur and we were just a day and a half away from Home Sweet Home.
