Daytrip to Shivasamudram (Near Bangalore)

Yesterday, we went on a road trip to Shivasamudram which is about 120 kms from Bangalore. It was a great sight to watch river Cauvery drop 400ft over the cliff. The road to get there is quite good except for a few patches along the way. The weather was quite warm, but bearable. We stopped by the Hydroelectric plant that was build 100 years ago.

On our way back, we stopped at Channapatnam (about 60kms from Bangalore) which is known for its wooden toys. As it turns out, our driver's family lives in that town. We had a chance to meet them and stopped at the toy store before heading home. Vallabh was quite amused by the onlookers as we walked through a narrow alley to reach our driver's family.

Earlier this week, my Sister, Seetha and her family had visited for a couple of days. We had been to Chennai to celebrate my little nephew's (Advaith) first birthday.
