Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 9 Week 6 - My Trip My Adventure

I will share in my travel story Bangladesh's most modern highway Dhaka, Bhagya, and Mawa Expressway. My story also contains Bangladesh's biggest dream of Padma Setu and all the exciting events of eating hilsa of the Padma River. Hope you stay with me till the end of this "My Trip My Adventure".

I had 5 people with me on this trip. We had been planning for quite some time that we would go out to visit Padma, the largest bridge in Bangladesh. After thinking for some time, we realized this idea. We bought the train ticket online at nine in the morning. The train station is quite far from our house. As we booked early morning train tickets, we left for the station very early in the morning. We were delayed by 10 minutes due to a mechanical fault with the auto van we took. And we missed our team. Which was a sad thing at the beginning of our trip. There is no option to back this ticket if you buy the ticket online. Six of us lost the ticket money here.

Since we missed our train. So we had nothing else to do. Except waiting for the next train. We missed the train and all our plans changed. We had to wait for the noon train. Sitting at this station and waiting for the train was very boring for me. The next train was two hours later. We again purchased tickets for the next train from the station. From here i.e. Pora Dewa to Banga station ticket price is 120 taka which if converted to Steem is 6 Steem. We are sitting at the beginning of our world with a loss of 6 tickets that is thirty six steam. But I think that whatever God does is for good.

We left at noon. We finished lunch from the station before leaving. We were all tired on the train. So everyone went to rest in their seats and got sleepy. And from here we reach Bhanga station around 4:30 pm.

The distance from Bhanga to Mawa is about 35 km. From here we have to go by auto or CNG. Even before reaching there, evening fell. We need a place to stay. And food requires a good quality hotel. We decided to look for a hotel to stay after dinner. Padma river hilsa is a famous dish in Mawa. Most of the tourists come here to eat Padma Hilsa. Hilsa is available here at a higher price than in other areas. Here the price of hilsa per kg is 600 taka which is 30 steem if converted to steem. Let's share our dinner with you.

Six of us ate one kilogram of hilsa with great satisfaction. And the cook here is a very skilled cook. He cooked mustard hilsa very nicely for us. Which we all got a lot of satisfaction from eating. Then we look for a place to stay. There were no decent hotels or residences to stay here. After much searching we found a place. Where there was only one room. There are six of us in this one room. I enjoyed it very much. Having 6 people in a room was quite challenging but it was quite exciting.

However, we got up in the morning and left to visit the famous Padma Bridge. There are three ways to go across the Padma Bridge: launch steamer and ferry. We hired a small launch.

We all got several passengers in this engine driven boat. And this engine driven boat began to move forward with great speed keeping pace with the high cliffs of Padma. And after we had left, the boatman asked us whether we were on any island. Although we were a little scared at the beginning, everyone agreed to take us. And lands us on an island for a while. And this dipti was my favorite place. The high waves of Padma were crashing on the edge of this island. A gentle breeze was coming from the direction of giving and was making our minds bottle like the waves of the sea. Meanwhile, I want to share some pictures of the moments spent.

Then again we go back to the launch and down the Padma we cross the Padma river. When we were looking at the Padma Bridge from a distance, it seemed like a line passed through the fish of the great river. Gradually the closer we got to Padma Setu the clearer it became. I am sharing with you some pictures taken very close to Padma Bridge. This bridge has been built for many years. The biggest bridge in Bangladesh. I will discuss this bridge in detail in another post of mine. Let me share a picture with you.

After boating all day we crossed the Padma in the evening. When the sun has set in the west. The surrounding weather and ocean currents are breathtakingly beautiful. Everyone comes back here again and again to see this scene. We finish our sleep here and from there leave again for home. Before I end my post I will share with you some short videos I made. Hope you like the videos.

I am ending my post with the hope that everyone will be very well and healthy.
