Started later than the usual time and had to take a detour to Pollachi to drop a relative. Petrol was cheaper in Kerala and topped up the tank 😃. It was almost noon when we finally reached the Nilambur bypass outside Coimbatore. Since we had packed lunch, we did not have to stop at a restaurant for lunch. The decision to take the Thirupour route for the final stretch was a good one since there wasn’t much traffic on that route.
