Parth was right on the money - he was waiting at 645 am for a 7 am appointment. A, M and I piled on into his car with Maria and we headed off to Vetal Tekdi.
We started the gentle climb and took pictures of the brilliant sky and the grass and the walks and spent close to two hours up there. There are many people who come to walk their dogs there. Lots of people who come mainly for the exercise. Pune that way has a healthy outdoor lifestyle for all ages. Schoolkids to old people, every age group comes.
We headed back to Kothrud for a bite at Irani Cafe. Kheema, brun, and masala omelette. Lousy service. Puts you off like crazy when we pay a premium. I love the normal Irani Cafes where the service is quick, accurate and businesslike - not this put-on stuff like this franchise. Who would get a masala omelette and forget to get toast or a bun I cannot understand.
Anyway we went back and met two crazy guys who drove us nuts at home until the magnificent Shambhavee came and rescued us from their technicalities. We begged off and went to Konkan Express to enjoy some fine sea food and headed back in the hot afternoon sun.
The evening was more of a recovery thing after a hectic few days. The girls went off for a walk, we went for a cold coffee, and then Shambhavee came and explained certain things about way forward. We told her we were in no hurry and we will wait until things get more clearer.
Packed up for the trip.
Early morning train tomorrow. Mahesh said he would pick us up. Good trip!
