I chose this route as i wanted a drive similar to what i saw in a hindi movie "Salam Namaste" which is in parallel to sea coast and boy i made the right choice. It was probably better then what i saw in the movie...
A total of 422 miles on map and add 40 miles to it where i had lost my way (Its hard for a software engineer to read the maps correctly :) )
I am damn tired at the end of it however the drive was worth the effort. I had planned to start early morning 7.00 AM however as luck would have it i didn't set up the alarm correctly (My hotel has given me iHome and i messed up while setting the alarm and put the 6.00 PM alarm) so i woke up at 10.00 AM and managed to start by 10.45 AM. I am finally back in my hotel at 11.00 PM after having my dinner.
I would love to write pages about this drive however as they say it a picture is worth more then thousand words and i am posting many of them below. So enjoy the pics ...
