I had to shift my plans when they proposed the plan for Kolad. We 4 started off from Mumbai to our destination Kolad where we can do Rafting. We called and arranged the package for the cheapest rate available. As they told us to reach there on Sunday morning at 8.00 o clock we extended out trip to Lonavla and Kandala. Lonavla is the nearest hill place near Mumbai.

We took a diversion through the Navi Mumbai where I could see the constructions in progress. Navi Mumbai is the only place where you can find a sea facing apartment for a reasonable price. We saw the headquarters of ICICI bank and the Diamond market. Navi seems to be a bit more planned with places divided into sectors. I couldn’t find any slums as it was marshy land before Mumbai started shifting.

We took the express way for Lonavla as its on the way Pune express highway. I felt the sign boards lying as we flew in 140km/hr. We reached Lonavla at 6.30 pm. We tried our bargaining power in many hotels till we got a reasonable one. We had some starter drinks before we left for Dinner. After the dinner we roamed around and enjoyed the cool wind flashing on our face as we had a chocolate flavored ice-cream.

The room door was open when we woke up at 6 o clock in the morning. Quickly we refreshed as we were supposed to leave at 6 to Kolad for our rafting. We had to shift to the Mumbai Goa high way. We reached Kolad at 9.00 where we had egg burgy as breakfast. You will forget your bad luck if you hear ours. We had to cancel our rafting plans as the dam was under repair.

With the disappointment we had a bath in that stream with very low water flow. The stones were pebbles that I never found any rock with sharp edges or rough surface. We left the black rock stream for rock climbing.

We reached the Kamat Resorts and booked a package for Rock climbing rappelling and free fox flying. If achieving goals makes you happy you should try rock climbing which will make you happier. If you are Acrophobic then you should try Rappelling which might cure you height problems. And if you dream of being any supernatural powers free fox flying will be inspirational.

We had a Punjabi lunch before we went for that blast. We had to wait a bit as there was another team climbing the wall. I successfully climbed 45 feet without shoes even though last 5 feet seemed really difficult. I had my rappelling and free fox flying after that.

We started our journey back at 4.30 with Kuru explaining his bachelor theory. According to Bachelor theory a Bachelor Persons Monday in the office will be really hectic with the hangover from the week end blast. Tuesday will be better where as on Wednesday they will be busy finishing of the targets of other two days. Thursday will be normal where as Friday will be cheerful as the next weekend is on!

Where as a married man’s case will be totally different. He struggles pushing the time on weekend with his wife. And will be sooo happy on Monday as he doesn’t have to be with his wife for 5 days. His happiness decreases as week grows. And will be so disappointed on Friday evening.

We reached back home at 7.30 evening. I couldn’t take any pictures as my phone went off coz of low battery before we reached Lonavla.
