Roadtrip Day 4: break day after completing 1k kms [March 12, 2021]

Ayurveda suggest to have balance & taking it slow if you intend to be on something for a long time

For some reason, Google showed only 950 kms but as per my bike’s trip meter, I had done close to 1050 kms while I reached Tour De Agri. In the previous post, I had mentioned that Saurabh & I intended to meet in Sangamner (a small town between Junnar & Shirdi) but I changed plan the next day morning.

I found Tour De Agri as a very soothing place with 2 sparrows trying to build their nest right on the ceiling of the open area where I saw & watched hills nearby. It has been long time I had seen sparrows at work.

The early morning walk in the farm was very soothing too.

I was also backlogging significantly on my blog writing so I decided to change our meeting point to Tour De Agri itself.

I called up Saurabhin the morning who was ok with the decision. So now I had to just wait for Saurabh to come over.

I had Gokarn tea (later I came to know that flower is called Shankpushpi in hindi), breakfast followed by regular tea. I came back to my cottage hoping to work on the blogs but the nature around was a bit too abosrbing for me to focus on the work. I did make a decent/desperate attempt & was able to complete only one post.

Saurabh arrived at around 12:30 PM. We had lunch & some chit chat till evening.

We went to the nearby Vadaj dam to catch glimpse of sunset. We thought of climbing a nearby hill but we were a bit late to decide on that. So we decided to do a trek next day morning.

We got some beer from nearby shops in Junnar, had a sumptuous dinner & called it a day.

P.S. I had composed this post in Shirdi (Day 6 ) of my ride but because of bad internet, I could not upload the images. I am in Surat now & got some decent speed internet. I decided to take a day off to complete pending posts from Day 4-8
