Diveagar Trip



Destination: Diveagar (170 km from Pune)
Transportation: 2 cars 2 bikes
Travellers: 13
Duration: 20 hrs

It was on the 10th of June 2010. The exams had just gotten over and the end of semesters brought with it a sense of freedom that just needed to be satiated.
5:30 A.M sharp, all dressed and packed, we arrived at the meeting point.
6:00 A.M we had filled fuel (25 l each in the cars) and it was time to start.
With a large number of stoppages for chai n wadapav, we finally managed to hit our destination by late noon. The sight that awaited us there was, in plain words, splendid. With literally no crowd thronging the place as other beaches usually have, Diveagar gave us an unique experience.
3:00 P.M the football came out of the bag
5:30 P.M was time to leave. So tired and wet, we climbed on board our respective vehicles and started back
7:00 P.M Mangaon. With stomachs rumbling, we set out to find a cheap place to hog.
9:00 P.M we restart for home with the promises that we'll reach by 11. Yea rite.
11:30 P.M Mulshi Ghat, one of the cars breaks down. The mechanical engineer steps out to try his hand at the situation. A nearby hut is knocked open to beg for petrol (70 Rs a litre). And this was where the combined intelligence of multiple engineers came to the rescue :)
12:00 A.M With the car finally up and running, for one final time we headed home...
2:00 A.M A bell rings at my home announcing my arrival to my then very sleepy (not to mention angry mom). After a quick bath and some food, I finally settle for the night.
New experiences: Swimming and Car repairing :D
