Continuing

I've got some comments saying that the previous post was too long and boring, so I'll try and make this short and interesting. Hopefully it'll work out.
As the night passed I try to catch a small sleep but no. With all the blabbering and all the nonsensical things going around you, I bet you can't make it through the night sleeping until and unless you’re a real tight sleeper.
The next day, all of the guys were up and out with our art materials by around 7.45 A.M. Most of us found a place for ourselves on the sides of the road and started sketching the beautiful, mind blowing and amazing scenery right in front of us. By around 8.30 we had our breakfast after which the buses started honking for its ride which was planned to start in a few minutes. Our next stop was on Talacauvery, a temple located on top of a hill and the birth place of the famous river Cauvery. Once there, we served our time with the god and went onto the tip of the mountain. The uphill walk was tiring and exhausting but once on top, you get a heart-stopping,over-whelming and mind-tingling view. While on top, we felt a completely different feeling and with the clouds passing through your legs, articulating that is never possible.
We stopped over on our way back for lunch in the lodge and then we were off to a palace which was also on another hill top. The road to this treacherous mountain was disgraceful and horrid. At some points of time, we actually felt that the bus wouldn’t make the curve and on other moments, the burning tire smell always irritated us.
After reaching the palace, we find out that it was utter crappy. It would be as simple as my ancestor’s home right now. But some of the guys and me made the best use of time reaching there. We got ourselves a carom board and then we got ourselves involved in a game of volleyball alongside the locals of the area. It’s pretty fun to play and enjoy, especially in that whether and area.
By the time we left the area, it was dark. On the way back to the lodge we stopped over at some hotels for dinner.
The tradition continued to pursue with no one allowing the good guys like me, obviously, to sleep.
During the night some of us got sleep enough to keep us alive the next day.
The next day was our return the Bangalore. Stomachs were starving till around 11.00 A.M where we reached a good hotel. The quantity of food was large and quality of the food was also awesome but the service was slow. After our mid morning brunch, we headed back in the way towards Bangalore. On the way back, we stopped on Abbhey Falls after which we headed back to Bangalore. The falls was like any ordinary falls.
We reached Bangalore at around 9.30 P.M and most of us were back home by around 11.30 P.M.
