Travelling

I got to know about an annual flower show that happens at Empress Garden in Pune. It was a 4-day show from 25th till 28th Jan 2018. We planned a visit on 28th Jan that was a Sunday. Everything was nicely planned right from the parking to the parking tickets(₹20 for 4 wheelers and ₹10 for 2 wheelers) to the entry tickets(₹30 for anyone above 5 years). The entry and cut was properly marked. Flowers were beautifully arranged and there was a wide variety of flowers that were available for display. There were snacks available, potting material and other eatables to take away. The overall arrangement was nice and with a visit.

A new spot near Hinjewadi, around 3 kms from life republic and 18 kms from pimple Saudagar. This is kasarsai dam. Boating club, restaurant, clean washrooms, parking space and a tapri all integrated. The roads are clean and well maintained except for some 2-3 kms that are rough. The place is good, provides a nice motor boat experience (₹70 per person), speed boat is also available. The view is beautiful, has a few swans and other birds flying and swimming around. The sunset is beautiful. You get an opportunity to click loads of pictures of yourself, the sunset and nature as you like. The in-house restaurant is clean, though not aware of their spread and pricing. A nice spot to spend a few hours with family and friends. [caption width="780"] Beautiful sunset[/caption]
