The overcast day turned into drizzle as we moved through Maharashtra. As it continued till Ankoleshwar, it was an un eventful drive except for we could cruise on Gujarat roads. Our first deviation from NH came at Ankoleshwar as we drove towards NARMADA GOLDEN BRIDGE. Continued to drive after a short coffee break. NARMADA GOLDEN BRIDGE is off photography limits and hence no photos of the bridge. Google search yields lots of links for pictures.

It was around 11 we reached Vadodara and it was time for us to crusise over the vadodara- Ahmedabad expressway. It was lovely 40 mins drive to cover 90 kms. That one mighty 6 lane pretty straight road is a cheese spread. Literally car capacity is put to test as you cruise through on this stretch. This is also in top on the most enjoyable roads of India (http://www.indiamarks.com/top-10-enjoyable-drives-india/) . Even though this site does not rank the roads, I would rate this as NO1 in my list of roads that I travelled this summer to Ladakh. Infact we have covered most of the listed roads on the site in this trip !

Had lunch at Ahmedabad as we drove towards Gandhinagar. Crossing Himmatnagar, Udaipur and Chittorgarh was an uneventful drive. It was by around 7.00 we reached outskirts of CHittorgarh where we stopped for a tea break which extended into and early dinner. All of us had sumptuous dinner for Rs 200 !. As per earlier plan, we were supposed to take a night break here. As we had lost out on one night drive yesterday, planned to drive through this night with ample breaks for Avinash. Also we decided that we shall not stretch too much tonight as we did not take complete rest yesterday night.
