Bike trip to Pondicherry - a photo blog

"A Picture Speaks 1000 Words"
This is my first photo blog. This trip was very short so I thought that I should put a few pics of my trip and let them explain this bike trip.

One Friday night, I was working late in office. At 3 am, I saw Anshul coming to office for TP (time pass). This is a great habit of AnshulG to do TP in office very very late at night. And favorite TP that hour: watching videos (esp. Malgudi days) or playing some silly computer game. Luckily, I had finished my work by then; so we left for a tea without knowing any place which would open that time of night. After riding about 100mts, we decided to go to pondy. Anshul had been to pondy on bike erlier, but I had not gone ever.

We packed our bags and left for the trip, a one day trip. Rest of the story will be explained through pictures taken on the way:

Sun brings the fun

Doesn't it entice to speed up???

Rendezvous, the most famous restaurant in Pondi

It is actually very frightening. @ Crocodile bank on the way back

That is a real python, but a two year old kid

Have you seen so many crocs from so close?

The sunset on the way back

This was my short one day trip which was mainly consisting of riding a bike. But still a fun since East Cost Road (ECR) is itself a fun to ride/drive on. It is the longest road along the sea in India.
