Pune-Mahabaleshwar Tour

We had a nice get together at Rafaan's home at Pune on 12-13th April, 2015. Dada Dadi Jaan came from Chandrapur, Heena Phuphi came from Mumbai and I with Mumma Papa went from Goa. The purpose was related to matrimonial meet of Heena Phuphi.
We went by Car, starting early morning at 4:30. While Mumma, Papa planned to take me sleeping, I got up as soon as I was in the car. Papa made the back seat of car like bed and I and Mumma relaxed there while Papa drove. A car TV was also fixed inside  having my choice of Rhymes. We enjoyed the journey, taking breaks at eateries and my favourites Frootis and Cadburys.
Reached Pune at 2:30 pm, Dada/Dadi Jaan and Heena phuphi were already there.  Met Rafaan, Nazneen Phuphi and Razique Phoopha. They all hugged me, kissed me and gave lots of love. Dada Dadi Jaan also brought dresses and pyjamas for me. I took some toys for Rafaan and we both played with it together. Rafaan also had his own toys which he let me play with. Evening we went to an uncle's place and there every body was talking to each other. There were some toys also there, so I and Rafaan played again. We also got Icecream to eat.
While we were leaving, every body was happy and greeting each other. We came back home late evening.
Next day we went to drop Dada/Dadi Jaan and Heena Phuphi to station. After that Razique Phoopha and Nazneen Phoophi took all of us to a very nice hotel, where we all had sumptuous meal. They also bought me a beautiful red dress which I instantly liked.
Next morning we left for Mahabaleshwar. We stayed at a nice resort. It was cold and the view from our room's balcony was breathtaking. We slept whole day and in evening we went to Lodwick point, where I rode a horse with Papa. After that we went to Venna lake where we did the boat riding.
Next day, papa hired a guide uncle who took us to so many beautiful places in Mahabaleshwar. The sights from those places were beautiful. All through the tours I kept sipping my frooti and eating chocolates. At one point me, mumma and papa rided on a Camel also. Mumma was so afraid, but I held her tight and she felt comfortable.
In evening we went to the local market, which was so crowded. I bought a box full of chocolate.
Next morning we drove back to Goa, through another route which had Ghats. Mumma didnt like this second route too much.
We had lunch in a veg restaurant at Goa. Reached our home by 5:00 pm, completely tired of journey. That day I slept early.
This 4 days were marvellous as I met everybody and did many things for first time in my life. I will always cherish these memories.
