It was a long time since we(KT & I) have been on a long ride, so we decided to visit Kanyakumari over the week-end. We started on 7th March, rode all night & reached Kanyakumari early in the morning. It was a nice ride as the roads leading to Kanyakumari are great. It was after a long time that I rode again all night and it was great experience, especially the stretch just before Kanyakumari is amazing with both side of the road full of windmills. We stayed in the TTDC guest house as that was the only decently prized place we can find with the view of Swami Vivekanad rock memorial. During our stay we also visited few close by places like the less know Mathoor bridge & Vattakotai Fort, the rest of time we spent in Kanyakumari visiting different tourist spot within the city. Overall it was a nice weather. Also luckily the TB did not through any major tantrums.
While on our way back home KT also spun her leg over the saddle to get a feel of what it means to ride for long hours with a pillion, she rode for a good 450+ km on the way back. We were back home by 10th March late evening.
I am definitely going back to Kanaykumari by road again & ensure that i have enough time to visit other near-by places.
