Saturday 26-sep-2015 1000 hrs
Woke up nice and easy, but I'd been restless for awhile and wanted be outdoors.
So we decided to go to a place called Kondana caves. Estimated drive time 2 hrs. As usual my gps and its voice prompts took us for a merry ride around the countryside. Only this time, something good came out of it. Just off lonavala, and tucked somewhere up there in the hills is a small local lake high up on a flat-top hill. Pure water, serene surroundings and fairly unknown to the city hordes.
So we ditched the cave plans as Deepa really fell in love with this lake. We decided to have our picnic lunch here.
It also turned out to be a perfect spot to give JACK a true Viking send-off, as Armaan took a few minutes to think about the moving on for both Jack and himself.
We spent a lovely relaxed afternoon there, and walked around the lake exploring a little. Clear water at the hilltop, and Armaan and I drank some from a feeder brook.
Then spent half an hour bouncing flat stones off the water and feeding break crumbs to the fish. (how on earth do they ever get there in the first place ? Always wondered about that.)
We missed Alisha, who had decided to stay home.
