Day 6 - Visakhapatnam (second day)

05.10.2022

Day 6

As mentioned previously, we had planned two nights halt in Vizag, primarily to rejuvenate. Similar halts are planned in other states also.

At Vizag we were impressed by the roads and general sense of cleanliness.

Vizag has several establishments of National importance - Vizag steel, HPCL oil refinery, Vizag shipyard etc. It is the oldest shipyard in India and also the headquarters of Eastern Naval Command. #fulltankers home town Cochin is the headquarters of Southern Naval Command. Vizag is the only natural harbour on east coast of India.

We were enthralled by the clean beaches and taste of the famous Andhra cuisine. We also visited the much acclaimed Raju Garu Dhaba, but felt it was quite ordinary.

Rushikonda beach is worth mentioning. We had planned visits to Air Museum and Submarinw Museum, but the long queues and the rains deterred us. It was Dusserah holiday in Vizag, and lots of people were enjoying the mid week break. Traffic was light which made driving much easy. 

Our stay at Welcome ITC was comfortable. We had dinner at the hotel and had an early sleep for the long drive next day.

At end of day six - 2394 kms on our tracker.
