Bekal Fort

Getting ready for Day 2 ...

Day one was well spent ... few things I did not take care was about no connectivity of GPRS on some areas... Now also not sure I will be able to post this from this place ...also cost of uploding on my GPRS .. 5ps /10 KB :-) looks there is somebody conunting my 'words' and I will be paying more If I speak more ...!...

They say one picture worth thousand words .. it is true when you are paying by bits :-) .. I will try to post some pictures sometime later.

Stay was good ... homely Kodava host and for my dinner had Egg Masala and some good chapati and rice .. slept early and got up by 6... Spoke with Veena and my father in law ... he was amazed that I have gone alone ... he was askening whether I have taken my handy cam .. that is one thing missing :-)

Now my next point is Bhagamandal ... Kaveri's birthplace (Oh! River Kaveri :-)) ...

I will get ready and leave in next 45 minutes ..

4.40 pm...Reached place called Kakabbe,some 25 km from Virajpet. Got a reasonable accomadation in "Palace" Estate...it is called Palace b'cos it is near some old palace.
It is raining here...Along with me now I have rain.

At Hunusur ...

I have stopped at Hunsur.... going to Virajpet. The road so far is
amazingly good. Coming alone is not that bad you and your little
voice ! ..I have ask for direction ... bye
