Blogadda Michelin Pilot Experience - A leisured trip to WALES, UK

The story started once again with the extra holidays in the mid of June and as we had already learned to plan things, this time we made no mistakes but kept on changing the paths to reach the destination but finally a day before the trip something bad happened. A friend from the previous trip was unable to travel due to office responsibilities and it came to a point where the trip was getting cancelled altogether for everyone. He sacrificed the trip and we has to go on with all the car/hotel bookings done. At the last moments, another friend roped in to join us all in our trip and we were 4 this time to travel to Wales. 


The trip started in the middle of the night and this time we had FORD FOCUS as our vehicle. We started the journey early in the morning at around 4pm with 4 of our friends and the distance was 250 miles from London to Llandudno. It was the most awesome drive as the weather was great and we simply loved the empty roads. We took a break in between to have tea and snacks. Finally we reached the city of Llandudno and directly searched for McDonalds for the breakfast as we have the whole day planned ahead of us. We witnessed a Vintage rally on that day and got a chance to see many of the cars showcased in the old english movies.

Went on a cable car to reach the top of the mountains and stayed there for quiet some time. The view of the city was amazingly great and totally loved every part of the beach. After descending down we looked around in search of the food but was not able to find the food as it was 3:30pm. We thought for a while and went straight to Pizza Hut in a nearby city. We found out the Pizza hut using the GPS in my Nexus One before leaving for Swansea through the national parks and mountains.

The distance of 160 miles was covered in about 5 hours and we reached the place at around 9 pm. We directly checked into our hotel. We went for a dinner at the nearest and saw the city on foot for a while.

Next day was allocated to see the areas of Swansea and some of the nearby places in the beautiful Wales. We saw some beautiful beaches and some castles. It was a great journey visiting a lot of places as it started raining.

Next day we went on to see the Rhosilli Bay, which is one of top 25 beaches of the world. After spending a lot of time at the beach, we drove back to London via Cardiff (188 miles). We had a wonderful lunch at an Indian restaurant in Cardiff. Finally it was the time to say to the beautiful Wales and return to the normal office life in London.





Roads calling...as I fly like a free bird!

Product Review - Blogadda - ITC Ultramintz - Awesome Product

Hi Guys,

I was a chosen one for the Blogadda & ITC Ultramintz program to be among the 50 bloggers who is going to review the product before it's launched in the market.

I was so happy to receive the news last week. Incidentally, this was the first news I came across after my birthday on 22nd July. As my blog is getting some popularity and I am winning some good contests, I felt great to receive the product.


The packing was suberb and I really felt great to receive the product this way. I was wondering how the product will be sent as it's a small metallic container, but this packing simply blew my mind.


This is the little container which took my breathe away....lol...this gonna take care of my breathe in the coming week as I review the product. Thanks ITC for venturing into a new segment. This definitely is a cool product idea and will really be a hit in the market.

ITC Launches mint-O Ultra Mintz to bring in Sugar Free extra strong mints in Peppermint flavour. This comes in a nice small package of Rs. 50/- with approx 60 tablets to go on for several days. The small mintz is very powerful and brings in a lot of freshness even if you had strong smelling drink or food or smoke. Really loved the way this small pallets takes away my bad breathes. The package is small and easy to carry always and easy on the pocket too. They will not be spilled out of the case they are in. These are secured inside this metallic case which is great in it's looks and keeps it dry even when it's raining.


 As soon as I started carrying it, it brought me a lot of new friends when we used to take a stroll after the lunch time in my office. The taste and the non-availability of the product in the market really makes me exclusive at the moment but then people will remember and look out for the product once it's everywhere in the market. It's a great effort from ITC mint-O to bring in these amazing pellets to the market which gonna really reduce the bad breathes we face. When we are talking to people who smoke and we are in a meeting where we can't even avoid them, we can politely ask them to have this one or we can carry it ourselves to share with everyone.

I tried and tested it after having raw Onion in my afternoon meals but it really did take away the smell onion brings. Kudos to the ULTRAMINTZ


I tested it with having a strong cup of coffee from the Vending machine and it really saved the day for me.

I ate strong garlic chilly chutney that my mom makes at home to be consumed with our dinner meals. I tried to challenge the ultramintz and thought this gonna definitely fail the same but it came out with flying colors. Hats off to the small yet powerful and beautiful pack of ULTRAMINTZ. I will recommend this one to each and every individual who wants something to keep them fresh throughout the day.  

Overall, it's something that has been missing from the market and now when it will be in the market this product is really going to pick up fast. ITC strong delivery network will make this a successful product. I wish all the very best to ITC and ultramintz to rule the market. 

Definitely, cool things and a Calm mind will always takes on the world. 
Finally, the best part of Blogadda, is this letter personally signed by the CEO. It has of great value than the product itself as the final product can be bought from the market, but this letter can't be generated ever after.


  


Thanks once again to Nirav, Blogadda team and the sponsors ITC for choosing me and my blog to review the product. I hope our association will build further... Cheers!!!

My Best Drive Across UK


A perfect road trip always starts with a dream to see the world around you. My road trip started with a dream to drive SUV for more than 2000 kms.  


 As I was in London so we thought to travel across UK to see Scotland and Lake District. Finally the plan was laid with all of us 5 friends agreeing to the trip. We planned the hotels, routes and other things. We hired Chevrolet Captiva, an automatic car with GPS fitted. Meanwhile, I found it difficult to locate the car’s diesel tank opening button and kept us waiting at the petrol pump. 
   

Around 3 am we were hitting the road from London to Lake District (300 Miles). After looking around and taking a boat ride to the other end of the lake district, we had home cooked Aloo-Poori with Achaar. Finally having an ice cream after lunch was the best dessert as we started our next journey to reach Portree, Isle of Skye (350 Miles). 

On our way, we passed through the city of Glasgow and the biggest lake of UK, Lake Lomond. 


It was dinner time and we found out another Indian restaurant in Fort Williams when we reached there at 800 pm. It was a really scary drive after dinner in the dark which I thought existed in Ramsay brothers serials where suddenly a lady in white will come on the road. I kept pressing the accelerator hard and we soon reached the city of Mallaig around 1030pm. My first day I started driving at 3am till 1130pm in the night with 1100 km on the SUV trip meter.  

We reached Ben Navis range and took cable car to reach the top of the moutains. We roamed around the lakes and the cities to reach Inverness in the evening at 4 pm. We came to a halt to eat Domino’s pizza in a car parking. While travelling around Inverness, a police cab followed me and asked me to make a halt towards the side of the road. As there was no one on the road, I was driving in the middle and as someone from other side used to come, i took my vehicle towards the side. This made the policeman angry over me and told me with a warning to drive carefully and he will keep an eye on me. 

The next day was the time when we had to see the UK highlands. We left our B&B after having an English breakfast. After seeing the castle, we travelled to Edinburgh (231 Miles) via Aberdeen. It was time to checkout the beautiful city of Edinburgh. We saw the beautiful city before reaching our dormitory as we couldn’t get any B&B due to holiday rush.

Next day we had to see the Edinburgh Castle and Underwater Sea World before finally saying goodbye to Scotland. We started around 3pm after having lunch at McDonald’s in Edinburgh. London was around 400 miles via Newcastle. Loved the whole drive.

Another Perfect Road Trip to Wales, UK

Hi Guys, 

After clocking 2200kilometers in the first trip, we decided to have another trip for less miles but to cover the beautiful cities of Wales mainly - Swansea, Llandudno & many other cities on the way. 

The story started once again with the extra holidays in the mid of June and as we were already progressed ourselves in our way to plan things, this time we made no mistakes but kept on changing the paths to reach the destination but finally a day before the trip something bad happened. A friend from the previous trip was unable to travel due to office responsibilities and it came to a point where the trip was getting cancelled altogether for everyone. He sacrificed the trip and we has to go on with all the car/hotel bookings done. At the last moments, another friend roped in to join us all in our trip and we were 4 this time to travel to wales. 

The trip started just like the earlier one in the middle of the night and this time we had FORD FOCUS as our vehicle. We loved the color of the vehicle very much. We started the journey early in the morning at around 4pm with 4 of our friends and the distance was 250 miles from London to Llandudno. It was the most awesome drive as the weather was great and we simply loved the empty roads. We took a break in between to have tea and snacks. Finally we reached the city of Llandudno and directly searched for McDonalds for the breakfast as we have the whole day planned ahead of us.

We went on to see the beach at Llandudno after parking our car on the Marine Drive kind of parking near the beach. The parking was free for some hours and afterwards you need to pay for the same. We had luck on our sides as a Vintage rally was starting there on that day and we got a chance to see many of the cars showcased in the movies.

Went on a cable car to reach the top of the mountains and stayed there for quiet some time. The view of the city was amazingly great and totally loved every part of the beach. After descending down we looked around in search of the food but was not able to find the food as it was 3:30pm and Indian food was not served in 2 of the restaurants after 3 pm. We thought for a while and went straight to Pizza Hut in a nearby city. We found out the Pizza hut using the GPS in my Nexus One and it helped us fulfill our stomach before leaving for Swansea through the dense forest and mountains.

The distance of 160 miles was covered in about 5 hours and we reached the place at around 9 pm. We directly checked into our hotel. We went for a dinner at the nearest and saw the city on foot for a while. As pizza was still there in my stomach, I avoided eating dinner and went directly to sleep. 

Next day was allocated to see the areas of Swansea and some of the nearby places in the beautiful Wales. We saw some beautiful beaches and some castles. It was a great journey visiting a lot of places as it started raining.

Next day was the time when we went on to see the Rhosilli Bay which is one of top 25 beaches of the world. After spending a lot of time at the beach, we drove back to London via Cardiff (188 miles). I walked to the one of the corners in the Rhosilli Bay to found out a ship buried deep inside the sand with it's flag post visible and lots of debris all around. We had a wonderful lunch at an Indian restaurant in Cardiff. Finally it was the time to say to the beautiful Wales and return to the office in London.

Thanks a lot!
