Just the moment I read about the line mentioning the experience of "Best Road Trip," my heart went back straight to 2022. Hell yeah, that was the year I had the best road trip in my life, and still that's the best one. Surprisingly, just a few hours ago, I was thinking about that whole tour of revisiting once I get some money in my hands. And here I am, sitting again to write about that, and this will boost the eagerness to go there once again.
Yes, it's from 2022, almost four years back in the timeline. Now that I'm living in Dhaka, the daily excessive traffic makes my road journeys hell; there's this one that felt like heaven. Never ever am I gonna forget that, I wasn't alone; I was with a full pack of members, almost 8/10 in total, and that's surely a lifetime moment for most of us, that whole trip, not just the road trip.
This is Marine Drive Road in Cox's Bazar. We were in a jeep car, open rooftop, beneath the open sky, and on one side of us were hills, and on the other, on the other side, we had the sea. I do still remember that very feeling when I first took in that fresh air and was astonished by the freshness, because in Dhaka, we breathe in the world's most polluted air.
This road goes to Teknaf, most probably to the remotest corner of Cox's Bazar. We were enjoying the most scenic beauties of the hills and the sea. The water was clean, bluish in type, and the air was especially fresh. It feels like I can still feel that moment, that satisfaction, that can't be erased from the memory. I just want to live on that once again.
Now that life has gotten stuck in between the traffic jams of Dhaka, Cox's Bazar is like calling me with all its heart to come and enjoy the moments for a bit. Each and every day, countless hours are wasted on the roads, not to mention the air quality; it's like breathing poison with every breath we take in. Amidst all these chaotic experiences, going back to those 2022 moments has kinda fueld my eagerness a thousand times.
So yeah, this was all about the Best Road Trip I ever had, which still makes me feel like breathing in even today. Waiting to be on that road, enjoying the moments once again.
N.B: These pictures were taken at that time by me, May 2022.
