Here is the last chunk of the trip... We thought of getting up early and start home quick. But with just the plan of getting back home for the day, we got lazy. Didnt feel like leaving early. Arun wanted to sleep some more. So i went alone to check out a spot near kudle beach. Empty road to om beach early in the morning...  quite some view..  Then i have to do some offroading..  I had gone without any riding gear thinking its near by and no big deal. But it was going on and on with lots of gravel and ended up being a tough offroad session with loose gravel on the stones.  Make it to the edge...   Could see kudle beach from there..  the ZMA-R taking over from CBZ*..  Panorama of the place. (the below image is a clickable thumbnail). Actually there were 2 more pix to the left to be merged but i accidentally deleted the left pic   looked interesting...  tricky gravel to get back..  Any way manage to get back to the resort in one piece. And should get on the move? But with such luxury Y hurry ?   The SeeBird resort. (Clickable thumbnail again)  But we have get back so packed the stuff and the Steads are loaded. Its like 2.30 pm by the time we started!...  Arun's bike was running dry and had to search around for Engine oil on a sunday and a mechanic as well. Some how managed to change it and it was 3.30 by the time we actually got started to ride briskly. After honnava Arun found a abandoned road so we went to check it out..  It was abandoned alright with those things lying on the road. Opened up to a lake..  The green waters of the lake seemed strange...  There were some shaedy activities going .... seems like somebody had skinned two lizzards there !  Found one of the heads nearby...  the discarded limbs!  the road ahead was strange as well...  Got back to the main road and the customary Sharavathy valley pic at the view point..  The bridge leading to job falls... With lot of crowd and no water, we ditched going in...  us there..  We could see Jog falls from there it self   From there on it was pretty continuous ride home. We wanted to cover all the bad stretches before stopping for food after Kaddur. Reached shivmoga by 7 PM and now its the dance on the bad roads for some time. I almost got bounced off once when i wanted to over take a car on the bad roads and got surprised by huge potholes. Finally made it through and stopped for food after Kadur. These Dhaba food are too good compared to the regular hotel stuff. It was max throttle ride from there and reached home by 1.11 pm..after a nice relaxed 1358 km trip.  Well that was it. Phew! i am done
