We managed to get an ST bus till Wada and then hired a jeep to go to Pratapghad, return to Wada and then proceed to Mahad.<br /><br />----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</span><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/1600/at%20wilson%20point%202.jpg"><span style="font-size:85%;"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/400/at%20wilson%20point%202.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-size:85%;">Waiting for the sun to 'get up'</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Shots at Wilson Point</span><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/1600/at%20wilson%20point.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/400/at%20wilson%20point.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/1600/wilsonpoint_01.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/400/wilsonpoint_01.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"><em>Photo Credits: Mithila</em></span><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/1600/wilsonpoint3.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/400/wilsonpoint3.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/1600/sunrisemanjit.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/400/sunrisemanjit.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"><em>Photo Credits: Manjit</em></span><br />-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/1600/returnwilsonpoint.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/400/returnwilsonpoint.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">Return from Wilson Point<br />-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /></span><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/1600/mahabsmarket.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/400/mahabsmarket.jpg" border="0" /></a></span> <span style="font-size:85%;">At the market</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /></span><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/1600/outsidethehotel.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/400/outsidethehotel.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/1600/outsidethehotel2.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/400/outsidethehotel2.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">Outside the hotel</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /></span><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/1600/tired.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3490/1177/400/tired.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">Tired.
