Drive through the wild

The weekend of the September 22nd was a very exciting one. Snippets... Driving for the first time in the UK... driving 420 miles... Visiting friends... planning a trip to Longleat... Zipping back on the Motorway.

Driving in the UK was alien till last week, it still enervates me for some reasons. I generally adore driving but there are so many rules adhering to which gives me initial shivers. Perhaps, time healers apply!

The Longleat Safari park, a well approved lunch time suggestion, is a wonderful place to visit. Short of a complete zoo, you could see wild animals in the natural habitats. The place in itself is amazingly huge and serene. Wouldn't say it's a jungle in a whole, but it cool! The pictures you'd see will give you a closer idea. Zoom on the camera was 4x(that was to assist in imagining distance). The rhino, tigers, lions and the foxes were my personal favorites. Caring just about for nobody, and quite cool, wouldn't have been cooler had they started pouncing around.
The Longleat house was another attraction, something that was well graphed in the hindi movie Mohabattein! Serenity again well maintained.

Drove to Bristol to walk the Clifton suspension bridge, a site of unchallenged engineering. Weather just gave up our side, and so quickened it quicklier(I know that's not dictionaried, yhikes!!).

Gave the weekend an end, driving the motorway, home dropping pals!

Wasn't very adventurous, but joyful indeed! Pleasing and Refreshing as well.

Trivial: Hired a Skoda Octavia. That's a car considered rich in India! Initial WOOW kinds.
