Day2 - Undavalli caves in Vijayvada

Day002 at EveryTrail

Map created by EveryTrail:GPS Geotagging

28 KMs

Got up lazily as it was to be a local sight seeing today. Spent half hour to get my airtel gprs activated in wain. The weather still cloudy so one more day i am saved from heat. Rode thought the city. The roads are fantastic and the central road of city 'Bandar Road' is eight laned. Enough flyovers to keep the traffic flow smooth.

In this place bridge is called barrage! I cross the prakash barrage over river krishna and find my way to Undavalli caves. Not the magnitude i expected but was nice infact peaceful and isolated from the city. After some time start back to the city. Lot of hills around and a temple on each one of the. Climbed the kanaka durga hill. Atleast a pic from there if not devine visit. Felt nice riding through the city with good traffic management but vehicles did surprise me.

By the general opinion my bike now looks like a delivery vehicle! Its like i get asked... Is it a delivery vehicle? what do u carry in em? Me like i am on tour bla bla :)

On way back went to service center to check about the self start problem and it seems a small plate costing rupees 5 inside the engine has gone kaput. To fix it will have to open the engine! Guess will have to live with holding clutch when staring the bike!. Got one inch metal welded to the

Nothing much today came back and took a nap. Kinda uneasy spending time. Not used to relaxing compared to other trips. Its to Vizag tomm.
