Half way up ^ to Mt. Maunganui !!!

3 AM in the morning, Aj, Aditya and Me, were sitting in the living room, discussing about our some good memories..... it was a good talk, and then the time passed and we got lost in the pages of golden bollywood songs, songs from the movies such as Aankhein, raja hindustani, etc..... Actually, we were to go on a field trip, but because of some reason the guy who was supposed to take us to the field did not show up.

6:30 Am in the morning, all guys ready with their eyes half open, to got to the fields, but suddenly that guy calls and says " sorry, guys we cannot go to the field today ." , this was a moment when all of us except a few, closed even the half open eyes and fell asleep, it was only Aj, Swapnil and Me who were still wide awake like nocturnals.

The clock struck 8:30 Am and Abhishek bhaiya was here, we had a cup of coffee and biscuits and then suddenly someone said let's go to Mt.Maunganui and everyone got ready, we started checking out the bus time-table . we came to know about a bus at 8:55 Am, and the clock was striking 8:50 AM, wee all rushed, put on our bots and guys who were wearing their PJ's came as they were. We just stepped out of the rooms and guess what, the Yellow Big Box on wheels vanished right in front of our eyes !!! SHIT !!! and then we had to wait for next may be 30 min at the bus stop. Finally, we got a bus, we reached the city center and then again we had to wait for the next bus, goddamn !!! the bus was not showing up, and we all were damn sleepy, i even slept sitting on that bench !!! i don't even remember when the bus came, when i sat in it !! but, then minutes later i opened my eyes and saw the beautiful piece of bulged land covered with greenery ( Mt. Maunganui ) standing in front of me. We were so overjoyed, that finally the dreams that we were seeing from last couple of weeks were coming true !!

What a splendid view, it was from the beach. the glass green water with the reflection of mist blue sky, white boats waving and the waves crashing by !!! we walked, clicked some snaps and finally we were at the foot of the mountain. We saw a board saying " Way to Summit". but, we ignored and decided to take the zig-zag way, we started climbing the steep slope of the mount, with slips and ouchs' we managed to reach the first phase, and and a view , on ur left hand you see th endless ocean, far away the horizon kissing the watery lips of the ocean, on your right side the view of the whols city with the backdrop of foggy Kaimai hills and behind you, rest of the mount standing proudly and right in front of you the view of the city, the beach and the people. with every phase we conquered, the view became more and more beautiful.. and finally the last phase of the half mount, steep slope with thorny bushes and damp land, we all succeeded to reach the railings to take support but Abhishek bhaiya had a small slip and it took our breath away !! but thank god, he managed to come over and take hold of the railings and finally we were to the other side of the mount..... what a relief it was seeing the flat green bed.. this was the most awesome bed i've ever seen, we all lay down ourselves and took breath and had rest..... and then finally it was time for us to get down .. and finally we came down again and then went to Burger King to make the wrestling animals in our tummy calm, had a burger, cold drink and then caught a bus and back home !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What an experience it was, we are going back to the Mount to conquer the summit next week, be in touch for next blogpost and amazing pics......
