Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
Starting off on a long road trip again and that means inflicting yet another travelogue on you ! This trip is going to be a tough one and has involved a fair bit of preparation.
As usual, it's going to be just the companion and me. He has been given a lot of attention in preparation and hopefully will be his usual reliable self. Looking all set and gleaming in anticipation.
The usual site where I posted my earlier travelogues, Travel Pod, has, alas, shut down (Shame on you Tripadvisor - why did you acquire the site then ?) A few diehard fans are running a similar site, Travel Ark purely as a service for travellers who have been Travel Pod fans. I have ported my previous travelogues here, and this one will feature here too. A big shout out to Ryan who is maintaining this portal all by himself - Ryan, you are a hero.
With your permission , I'll keep the "suspense" just for a little while as to where I am headed. Only to spice things up a little bit, for the anticipation is as important as the actual travel, isn't it ? I'll only say this , if you are a knowledgeable Indian traveller, I'm not going where you might think I'm headed to ! And to those to whom I have told where I am going, shhhhhh :)
At the crack of dawn tomorow, I will be off. Belt up and join me in the front seat, for its never a solo trip when you are, virtually, with me.

Boss, you need a more grunty engine (a V8 with 400 horses under the hood will be adequate). Talk to the petrolhead LOL!
