This is the first blog that we have started to write about our travels. Hope this is more informative.
School declared Dasara holidays from
14 Oct till 25 Oct 2015. So Dad and I jotted down the places we can visit for 2
Days around Hyderabad and we have finalised to visit Suryalanka beach near
Guntur district.
We have made a resort reservation 1
week before our travel on their website as it is holiday season. Since we are
going to beach, I came up with checklist of items to be carried, extra clothing
and plastic bags to carry wet clothes.
Before the day of our travel by road,
we gave our car for servicing, filled the tank full, checked air pressure for
all 4 tyres and stepony. It's a 7 hrs journey so we have decided to carry
breakfast and some food for the travel. All packing was completed as per the
checklist.
On the day of our travel, we started
from home at 3:20 AM
So that we could reach suryaLanka early. With the help of GPRS, we travelled on
ORR towards Narketpalli, Narasaraopet, Chilkaraopet, chirala, Bapatla. One of
our rear tyre busted and dad changed it with the help of a passer-by. We are
very thankful to him for his timely help. We continued our travel to Suryalanka
and reached by one in the afternoon.
It was sunny and we were tired after
the long journey. We checked in Haritha Resort. We had our lunch and then
took rest till 4 PM
as the weather started to cool down. Since it is time for fishing season from
October to February, you can see fishing happening at the beach.
The water is cool and soothing to the
feet. All our tiredness was gone once we have seen the beach and ran into the
deep water to play with my little sister and dad. We saw some itsy-bitsy crabs
at the sea shore. We played till the sun set and then we went back to our rooms
to freshen up again and we took some photographs. Once it became dark, we went
back to the beach to explore the surroundings. We saw some wild cows taking
rest at the beach.
We had breakfast at
9:05 and it is hot. We went for
seeing surrounding places. First we went to Ipurupalem where sarees are
woven. They weave both pure silk and polyester sarees.
And we also went to Vadarevu (Chirala
beach) where we saw many fishing boats at the beach.We bought some dry fishes and dry
prawns from there.
We went to Bapatla where my grandpa
and my grandma studied and they also got married in Bapatla. We went to a hotel
called NICE where we had our lunch and the lunch was tasty. We went back to
Suryalanka resort. We took rest at
2:09 woke up at
4:00 and walked on the beach till 6:00 we came back to the resort it started becoming
dark. We had our dinner and we went for a walk. I collected some shells at the
beach.
Next day morning, we had a photo session with Dad and at
9:00 AM we had our tiffin and started back
to Hyderabad and travelled 443km to reach Hyderabad.
