October 24th, Tuesday

This would perhaps be the saddest day of the trip, the exact opposite of Friday - the day we started this outing. Everyone sadly packed their bags, took a few photographs in front of the CBOO Centre, and moved on towards Uthsav restaurant to have breakfast. Onion Dosa was what we had, although the elders warned us that it was a wrong thing to eat especially before a long journey. It was 10am and the vehicle moved on towards Arsikere, and we passed time listening to music, much against the elders' wishes. Navya, who had a mixed experience, of both having fun, and suffering from a persistent cough, turned hyperactive during the return journey and became a source of extreme comedy to everyone sitting on the last seats. Her spirit, the courage shown in the water park inspite of an initial fear, and every word she spoke, brought peals of laughter amongst everyone, and certainly no trip can be complete without her presence. The Mangalooru-Hassan NH 48 route had gone bad, and was always jammed due to movement of oil tankers, and our driver preferred the Mangalooru - Beltangadi - Mudigere - Beluru - Halebidu - Banavar - Arsikere route. It was soon time to take a feedback.
