Bio Breaks -> Mc Donalds Vapi,
Anand is the home of the Amul India, the origin of white revolution. Here we took a tour of Milk Powder processing and Butter processing units with guides .
Parking has to be done on the road outside as the private vehicles are not allowed in the premises. I took a pass at the entrance and produced a valid photo ID. Pass is available free of cost and we got the guidance of directions right from the gate. The people managing the show are co-operative and friendly.

The entire tour took less than 2 hours and a must watch for the young kids who would understand how the butter that they apply on the bread is processed from the raw milk and reach there table.

We stayed at The Grand Pritam - TGP in Gandhinagar for one night. This hotel is located on the main road NH 8C and is marked precisely on the google maps. This is a budget hotel and they provided us with basic breakfast in the morning . We visited Indroda Dinosaur and Fossil Park . This place is pretty good for the kids and we saw many school children visiting the park . Apart from the Dinosaur park they have a zoo and a small collections of snakes.
Akshardham Temple is another attraction in Gandhinagar, but that I have seen in Oct 2010 trip to Rajasthan and Agra .
Allosaurus
Deinonychus
Brontosaurus
Megalosaurus
Rajasaurus Narmadensis
The entire trip took less than 3 hours and it was a good opportunity for my kid to learn few things about Dinosaurs .
We moved to Sasan Gir from here .
