Wild Valley Farm on 2013 Deepavali weekend (3 of 3)

Woke up early on the third day at the Wild Valley Farm and from yesterday’s experience, I knew Snoopy would be around in one of the tents. What better companion than Snoopy, since we all need a small, vicious dog to protect us in the wild. Since I still had sometime for the sunrise, I walked around a bit. I went to the edge of the property to see if I could figure out what the sound from last night was. But, no luck. Snoopy, had gone back to sleep, probably a more intelligent decision. (Read Day 1 and Day 2 before this, if you missed it.)

Ducati India? Soon.

Ducati has been in India before,  without much success. Their latest news release says that they intend to come back to India officially with new partners. Don’t hold your breath for Ducati India though, it will not be cheap or affordable, like most expect any incoming manufacturer these days. Since the do not produce them here, there will not be any financial advantage to the brand. And, given that most Ducatis are more expensive than their traditional Japanese counterparts, expect to see prices over 10 lakhs for the more desirable of the lot. The smaller Monsters may be priced under 10 lakh though.

No idea about the dates though.

Wild Valley on 2013 Deepavali weekend (2 of 3)

On Saturday we woke up to a cloudy morning. It had been raining pretty much all last night. I had to get up mid-night to make sure that there were not any equipment that was getting wet. The tents are on a concrete base, so that’s good in a way. I had got most of the stuff onto some of the chair’s I lifted off from near the campfire, so everything was dry. I just had to move Kavitha’s cot a little to make sure that the drip from the lone hole in the tent’s canopy did not drip on to the bed. We slept really well that night, listen to the sound of rain on the tent. This is what we woke up to, a lovely foggy sunrise. (Read Day 1, before this if you missed it.)
