The 3 hour journey

Saturday had bored me. I wanted to go out somewhere far from the crowds for sometime. Was facebooking in the night when P suddenly pinged me. We were experiencing the same kind of distress. A quick plan was made to some random destination which both of us had never visited. Set an alarm to wake up early, got up late, left the house in a hurry.
P had been waiting in the bus stop by then.
Clouds looked angry, and hinted me not to travel by bike. So I parked my bike in a bus terminus and got into a bus. The main purpose of this getaway was to get some good photographs as both of us were photo-hungry(esp me).
It took 3hours to reach SP. An auto-rickshaw guy was our guide for the rest of the day. We went to all the surrounding places. A temple, followed by a river, a fort, the summer palace of Tipu Sultan were some of the places we visited. Clicking all the way!
All done, we headed to the bird sanctuary. I didn't have the proper gear (lens) to photograph birds. Rangantitto is a very famous place for migratory birds. Variety of birds from as far as South Africa visit here every year, thousands of them! Though it was Sunday, this place was calm and far from chaos, and that is what I liked about it. Both me and P enjoyed the short trip.
Came back with some cold and sore throat.
