MINI SERIES: DAY 9 WALKING THE ROUND ISLAND ROUTE
Today being the rare weekend, where I did not have to rush back home, my plan was to cover as much distance today as I could push myself. By now, unconsciously, I am enjoying the hike more rather than calculating the distance covered. Only when I started to chronicle my experience, I realised the distance…

MINI SERIES: DAY 7 WALKING THE ROUND ISLAND ROUTE

MINI SERIES: DAY 5 WALKING THE ROUND ISLAND ROUTE
This route was a special . I walked this one on my birthday. Though I wanted to stay curled up in bed, I was equally tempted to walk this route. Being on leave from work, I started off on this walk a little later than usual after a beautiful birthday wake-up call. (If you have…
