Odisha (Orissa) Road Trip, Day one (en route to Bhuvaneshwar)

5 Dec 2012: Started early morning at 5.15 am from Mumbai.NH3 was a dream drive. We did good and reached Dhule well within our target time of 10.00am. Breakfast at 'desh videsh' was pretty good and priced reasonably. Hereon upto Bhuvaneshwar we have no choice but to get on to NH 6. Though the road is pretty decent, it's a two lane and negotiating heavy duty trucks all the way is tiresome. Another break at around 4.00 p.m just after Akola for some grub and we were in a hurry to get to Nagpur but ran out of steam after a couple of hours and we decided to call it a day at Amaravati. Gauri inn Amaravati does not meet my hygeine standards but there is not much else on offer. Need to get a good night's sleep before proceeding, more importantly hubby needs to relax cause he's driven close to 700 odd kms today.
Did I mention that there is loud music being played outside our bedroom window and fire crackers shooting out in all directions accompanying a wedding celebration at the hotel.
Here is hoping that we are too tired to pay heed.
