30-Dec
Since morning, I was not in mood to drive, just want to stay there but the room rent was bit high on my average so have to get out of here. Ernakulum is a much planned city that’s make me remember Navi-Mumbai. It’s big tourist destination so costly also. I get out the city and stopped on a typical Kerala food joint and taste different type of packoras. Banana packora was too heavy. A beautiful young couple, traditionally dressed up, eating there that make this restaurant elegant and unforgettable for me.
I stopped for quick check on bike, just after 25 km of city and it took only 20 rs. (Actually not in mood to drive so I was just exploiting all the excuses for not to drive) you will found lots of bull mechanic here on road side in Kerala.
Again took a wrong turn and NH left, its good na, I got on a quite road (since I enter in Kerala, the highway is urbanized, and I didn’t get the pleasure of being alone on road)
I stopped by an Ice-cream parlor on the foothills and eat whole 1.2 liter family pack of ice cream in 1.5 hours (I told you already that I don’t want to drive today)
I got sound in bike by the afternoon. It comes and goes make me worried. (I think she used to get angry whenever touched by any new mechanic). At last I figure out its only chain cover welding broke down and chain cover comes on moving chain and make that sound.
Learning: - Remove cover of spark plug while doing electric welding on bike directly. It is safety practice which I learn while my silencer hook welding repaired near Ranchi. The guy here (near Calicut) was afraid of welding on chain cover and want to remove it from bike than want to weld, I assured him and get out the cover of spark plug he took only 10 Rs.
Beautiful sceneries road side whenever road come close to sea, many time I saw a joint of sea to river that’s full of coconut trees and there are good tourist resort along the way. I reached by 10 pm on outer skirt of Calicut and get a cheap lodge here.
God night
