Hit the road! - part 1
Yes, that was the thought lingering in my mind for quite some time now, but I wasn't sure yet if I would be doing it as I dint find company for the Sankranthi trip. Its 13th Jan (friday) and I finally found 3 more people and decided to hit the road at 3 PM. Finally we started at around 4 PM I planned to go on a not-so-good route in order to avoid the festival-season traffic. The road was good but full of cars till some 100 km and then I deviated to Ongole route. After deviating from Vijayawada route, the traffic indeed decreased, but the speed breakers and potholes made the journey a nightmare! I couldn't speed more than 40 kmph for most of the time due to poor lighting and for avoiding the gigantic potholes... its not a surprise to say that the max I could reach is 90 The road work made things even worse!! Reckless cars came head on trying to overtake the trucks and buses, and we had to brake all along. I was estimating the time all along and thought I could make it
