Nice pictures, Jayesh. I really appreciate the fact that you took the pain to come back to update us even though the itinerary query initially went unanswered. My +1 reputation for that and also for these beautiful pictures. How about sharing some snaps of the Eeco? It seems you have painted its bumpers to body colour lately.

Drive Safe,

First parked the vehicle in Pay & park area ( its a bit safe there), the went to look for a good hotel with nice beds. Lastly found one just opposite to the place my vehicle was parked.Asked the owner for parking place and was allotted this one.

They also had a restaurant upstairs , so had dinner and went to sleep.
