Today we were visiting Surat, had hired a car to take us there. We left @ 10:30, however getting out of Navsari took us close to 30 minutes, some crazy traffic on the main roads. Finally out of Navsari, highway was nothing flash, the standard two way single lane road.

By the time we got into Surat, it was close to 12:30, headed to Sugar n Spice for lunch(recommended by Arvind kaka). Not a bad place for lunch – however it was there desserts that were awesome

Next stop was saree, salwar shopping for Nita, driver took us to a nice place called Asho Palo. Nita was able to pick up some pieces there, however it was the mess we created that I felt like … sorry, Nita got to view soo many pieces, the guy just kept opening them and discarding them on the floor. Another poor soul was having to pack all the discarded stock back.

Following that, we headed to another open shopping area, were mainly looking for kids stuff, finally managed to find some – needed to keep the kids happy.

(Surat Central Mall)

Last stop was at Surat Central Mall, quite a big mall. Headed straight to the food court, variety was vast – settled for a mix of cuisines.

(Pooja in the food court, where is my food?)

Post dinner, had a quick look around the place and it was time to head back.
On the way back out of Surat, stopped at a McDonalds – Pooja had not eaten much – got her some Nuggets and Fries, and boy was that needed!! She gobbled the Nuggets easily. She had always avoided Nuggets in Oz and here she was loving it.

Drive back was without incident.
