This summer i had one of the best time in my life when i got the chance to visit the Spanish land.

We were welcomed by our local friends Alex and Lucas, they made sure we get all the VIP treatment. It was such a delightful experience to receive such a warm welcome and incredible hospitality. They have everything sorted out including transportation and lunch arrangement too. They made sure there is enough variety of

#BikerBrotherHood #CoastalTrail #BangaloreToGoa

For an avid rider, it’s the journey that matters more than the destination. In our trail, luckily, the journey and the destination were equally aesthetic. Riding along the coastline from Mangaluru to Goa was a special experience altogether. Along with the other riders of the MojoTribe group, I undertook this journey filled with fun and adventure. Day1: Our ride started from Skanda Motors in Rajaji Nagar, Bengaluru. The seven of us started the journey at 8 in the morning. To shrug off the sleepiness we all had a cup of coffee in the morning. Needless to say, we were all excited and geared up for the ride. Two of the riders started from Mumbai towards Goa and 4 other riders, on their Mahindra Mojo, joined us in Goa. A sunny day coupled with the morning breeze made our ride effortless. We stopped for breakfast at the Mayura Hotel. At all times in the journey, there was a backup vehicle and a mechanic accompanying us, so while we were busy stuffing our mouths and recharging

If you are looking for a weekend drive away from the Bangalore city, Yercaud is one of the best options. It's around 250 KM from the Bangalore and the till Salem you can cruise on the Highways at the good speeds. There are a lot of good places to eat on the way. The real view is on left side of the photo, which i missed out ;) We left early around 6AM and stopped for the breakfast once we crossed the city. It's a good food joint with CCD, MC-D and other south Indian restaurants, you can find easily on the left side along with the HP petrol pump after crossing around 50KM from the city. The road to Yercaud is mostly highway, with small 40km stretch of narrow sections with twists The highways are bliss till you reach Salem. If you love corners then 20 hairpins on the way to Yercaud won't disappoint you for sure. Thats one out of 20th hair pins I stayed at Sterling resort, which has good location and ambiance.

I went to Singapore for 4 Days/3 Nights package which also included the Star cruise.My flight landed in the morning around 8 AM and i was out of terminal at 8:30AM, all thanks to the quick and well maintained immigration process at Changi Airport. To be honest i was little nervous before the immigration process, as my visa was expiring on 2 June and my date of return was 3rd June. When i checked with Travel agent, they confirmed the validity date is date of arrival but i was still little nervous. I was bit relieved after the immigration was over within a minute. I got my luggage within 10 mins and i was free to go out. I decided to have breakfast at McDonald at airport itself after being freshen up. If you want to connect to WIFI, you need OTP on your indian number or if want to continue your phone on airplace mode then you can collect the OTP from information desk by showing your passport. The OTP is valid for 4 hours which is more than enough. My pick up was del
