Did you use a mirrorless camera ? Can you share some more details?

Thanks a lot for those kind words Sayak. As told by Sumitro, Yes, I have recently bought a Fujifilm XT-100 mirrorless camera. The idea behind getting a mirrorless was to make it easy carrying on the trips. Not bulky and the clicks are good enough. More details of the camera are posted here (Mirrorless or EVIL Cameras).

Btw, recently visited Vienna and Salzburg (part of a business trip), mind blowing meadows and mountains. May be will write a travelogue.

Will eagerly wait for that. Your writing often makes the place more beautiful. Quote:

Haha. I won't say that the thought didn't cross my mind (Dil toh Bachcha Hai Ji) but didn't indulge into anything like that. Yes, there were times when the speedometer went past the speed limit without us knowing and then we had to correct it. Quote:

The brilliant photographs by you all depicting the countryside was icing on the cake. One time, when you guys must not have missed your Duster or Thar/Bolero.
Thanks for sharing. |
Thanks a lot Sheel. And yes, the F-Pace was amazing. This one was beautifully specced to. Completely blacked out without the ugly chrome bits. It looks fast even while standing still. It is difficult to take a bad photo of this car. The twin turbo engine was a hoot to drive as well. Quote:

Thanks a lot Hayek. Let me dig that TL out and go through it. I think we saw this castle but the weather was really bad. We managed to click it somehow. Is it the same one as below Quote:

My route recommendation - Edinburgh - Fort William and Ben Nevis - Edinburgh |
Thanks so mucn swaroopsankar. I am sure it would have been fun. We travelled on the route you have recommended. Quote:

Beautifully narrated Papada. Hope to see more adventures from Sumitroda and you in near future. Rated 5* . |
Thanks a ton Aritra !! The trip was a lifetime experience indeed. To be honest, friendships which can last a road trip usually last long. And yes, 'Papada' was hilarious. Quote:

As Samba mentioned, your reaches are going beyond borders, reminds me a dialogue of the captain of blackpearl
Wish you both great travels together. |
Thank you so much for the kind words Thermodynamics. As evident from Blackpearl's post, he would be very happy to see a Jack sparrow reference. Quote:
