Day 5-(28/12/2006)
Day 5 was planned for shopping. Since the shops in Hyderabad opens only by 10.30-11.00am, we decided to start from home by 10.30am. My cousin had arranged a Santro for us, so I got a chance to drive in Hyderabad. I was pretty unsure which side of the road to drive, generally fast moving vehicles occupy right hand side of the road and slow moving the left hand side (for roads seperated by medians). But here the case was entirely different, people were overtaking through the left. So I too decided to follow the same way. One thing which I found good was that seat belt were mandatory in Hyderabad and so were helmets.
We couldnt go to the city as the traffic was so heavy and it would take us atleat 1.5 hours to reach there. So we went to place called Kukatpally which was suburb, but had all the major shops here. We went to a shop named “R.S Brothers” which had lots of shops in city also. We also went to Chanda Nagar for some purchase and returned back home by 2.00pm. After lunch we took some rest.
Evening around 5.00pm we decided to go to an exhibition, which was named Shiplaram, this exhibition mainly had the handicrafts and handlooms from various parts of the country. It was a huge exhibition with lots of stalls around. We reached back home by 9.00pm.
Day 6-(29/12/2006)
Day 6 was the final day of our tour. Morning, after breakfast we moved to the ChandaNagar railway station to catch the local (MMTS) to Secunderabad. We reached there by 11.00am and we got into the Sabari Exp for our return journey to Ernakulam (Kochi).
We reached Ernakulam North by 1.30pm the next day (30/12/2006) which ended our 6 day Hyderabad tour.
