A wonderful journey commenced again through bus. It gives a nice and fearful experience on the hair pin bends. Most of our friends are facing vomit sensation, when the bus reach 60th hair pin bend.
Note: For safety keep a vomit control tablet or a lemon and small polythene bag (for worst case).
Finally we reached semmedu around 10'clock, then find out a room near by the bus stand.
