The Ahmedabad Diaries - Day 9 (Sunrise at Riverfront, Lucky Cafe and Walk to Manek Chowk)

 Woke up early and headed off to watch the sunrise at the Riverfront while on my walk. Was a lovely dawn though I got my first glimpse of the sun only at 730.

Bikes - can do this tomorrow

And finally - at 730


Off to the game and post game Jyo and I decided to go to Lucky Cafe where we partook of a maska bun and pudina chai which was brilliant. These guys make the best tea.

Off we went from there to Manek Chowk which is a 2 km walk because Jyo wanted to buy some more imitation jewellery. Bumped into some lady from Malaysia who asked for directions and ended up exchanging numbers.

Having bought our stuff we walked back to Lucky cafe where Jyo had another round of maska bun and chai and I tried my hand at a vada pav which was pretty distant from the vada pavs I had eaten. We did try to eat stuff in the restaurant next door which had a tree growing through it but he said we could get all that we wanted in Lucky cafe and shooed us off.

Plan to head to the Morning Heritage walk tomorrow. 730 reporting time!
