The Bike Trip - Day 3

We woke up at 6:30. The plan was to leave at 8:00 to Bangalore. We started at planned time and checked out of the hotel. We went to Town Centre Canteen to have the famous Benne Dosa (butter dosa). After the sumptuous breakfast, we headed to Bangalore. But on the way we saw the board "Belur 1 km ->". Sathish wanted to go, so we went to Belur. It was my third time and the second time in a month there. We didn't spend much time. We went around the temple admiring the architecture. And as anyone could guess, we went to Halebidu also. There too we spent only little time.

We resumed our journey to Bangalore. We crossed Hassan around 12:30. After driving on the lonely ghat roads for two days, it was difficult to drive on normal roads. We lunched at Kamat Upachar and refuelled at the petrol bunk nearby. To our utter dismay, we found they dont accept cards. After filling the fuel! I was pawned at the bunk while Sathish and Bhanu went to Channarayapatna to get some money from ATM. We paid up and stated the most boring and dangerous drives. The drive back home. Here we dint have steep slopes or hairpin bends to worry about. We had over speeding lorries, unruly car drivers and mindless pedestrians to worry about. But we managed to reach home safely.

We had driven more than 1100 kms in this trip. Not even once, the bikes caused any trouble. We are grateful to them. And thankful to Hanuman for having been with us throughout the trip.
