A last minute trip worked out well.
September 27, 2013- Worked like a dog from 5pm to 10pm- no break. Reached home at 10.15pm and sat back for work at 11pm, worked till 5am. Got up at 9am to find kids awake and playing with their dad.
September 28, 2013- 10.15am we decided we should take a short break away from Blore and Sakleshpur was decided upon.
And there we were on the NICE road...Blore Hassan road paying at all the toll gates and enjoying the wide highways.
He called up the Planter's club which has affiliation with our club here...and found that they had rooms available. Good weather, quiet and neat place, large room, yummy home made hot food that is what welcomed us when we reached there.
Since it was already evening when we reached, we decided we will visit Sakleshpur town and see some places around it. We visited the Sakleshwara temple later that evening.

| Kukke Subramanya |
Next day we decided to visit Kukke Subramanya which was just 60kms away from this place. Unfortunately post monsoon, the roads were in terrible condition and we took close to 3hrs to reach kukke..just in time for the last darshan. At the temple, Boys n Men are expected to bare chested, even the baniyans are not allowed. It came as a surprise to me that, my son who is all the time looking at himself in the mirror was all shy to walk around the temple without shirt. :-) Well, we managed a good darshan without much fuss from the kids.
By the time we returned from Kukke it was already 4pm, but folks from Planter's club had kept hot food ready for us. Post (late) lunch we headed back for Blore. Hot coffee at Oosoor estate and our next break was straight at Blore.
Looking for a quick break out of Bangalore, Sakleshpur works out just fine for a 1 night 2 days break.
