Drive to Nagarahole - Coorg

Two days and two nights, a drive of 600 odd kms, four major places of visit, three bachelors (one situational), an approximate spending cost of 2k (some costs were just pardoned... We could have budgeted it close to 1200) and lastly but not the least four worth remembering events in this unplanned trip.

Important things for the next trip
1. Rain coats/ umbrellas
2. A torch with backup cells
3. Ear plugs, to avoid piercing snores

Things lost on the trip
1. A Nokia charger
2. A day's wear + wet towel
3. Trip's first night sleep, due to point 3 of the above list
4. Trip's second night sleep due to the travel

Things learnt/ (safely) brought back
1. New idioms for r dictionary
* Air bubbles are coming from all places
* Put the head light
* Say cheese in the dark
* "OHhh Shit" & "OHhh no" been indiscriminately used.
2. Four 2 litre bottles (three emptied, one still filled with water), two empty 1 litre bottles , Two empty 1/2 litre bottles (previously contained pepsi), and one 1/2 litre bottle of pepsi with some heady mix. One empty "lays" potato chips packet and an apple.
3. And yep! The car and its tired occupants.
