Purnagad to Vijaydurg
Early start on a quiet NH4 and I watched thd sun rise as I crossed the Puragad bridge.
It had been a bit of a noisy start to the night with a local wedding party nearby but a short power cut stopped their fun. When the electricity came back on there was a flash at the control box in my room, more obvious as the room was in dark, but everything seemed ok afterwards. I am charging a battery bank and using that to charge my phone, just in case.
I took a smaller road to Nate through beautiful villages and past a stone quarry where the stone was cut to size direct from the quarry walls. This stone is used in nearly all house and for field walls.

After rejoining the main road it took me further inland than I really wanted to go as it kept to higher more level land. Route NH4 was also shut for a section so I had to loop even further East before I could rejoin it, This was on a smaller road with massive banyan trees to shelter under.
In places BH4 was very rough.
I decided to head North to Vijaydurg but all the tourist accommodation there was full as there is a sea swimming competition tomorrow. The fort is another mud pie type with a small sea port.

I found a room at the MTDC Guest house a mile back up the road so a few more miles were done heading back for food, A long day but no heatstroke problems.
Today's ride: 56 miles (90 km)
Total: 362 miles (583 km)
