No walking for two days now. Yesterday was a break day. Was by myself. Did some birdwatching. Some loitering around. A lot of fetching water from the well coz I also had to wash all my clothes. It rained in the evening. Terrible thunder. The rear tyre of the jeep burst on our way back from dinner and picking up folks. It was pitch dark forest on both side of the road, the sky formed a lighter band in between coz there were stars up there. It was a beautiful night. There were glow worms all around to give the whole scene an enchanted touch.
Today. Nothing much. Just going up and down the narrow one-ways of Madikeri to find a Ceat tyre shop or dealer, a Mahindra spare parts dealer and a garage. Madikeri is a crazy town. Just 4-5 roads emanating from the city centre, that's all. And one-way's at that. You don't really get anything there. The people are nice, as almost everywhere. We came back without the tyre changed, and with the smooth finish of our rear tyres, the potholed road and the late hour of the evening, we were wary of another tyre burst happening. A tree had fallen blocking the road, so we had to take a detour through coffee plantations. Reached safely anyway. I like these jeep drives through the forest, especially in the night with mist rising on the road.
Did a lot of catching up with folks today. Avi-Jaya, Viki and finally Maa. Maggu called but it got disconnected as we moved out of range. Gotta call him from someplace sometime soon.
