Finally, we stopped to turn back home when the roadside milestone showed that we were just 81 km short of Ormara, and the speedometer mileage suggested that we were more than 300 km away from home. It took us 6 hours to reach to this point, which was significantly longer than what we estimated as we were expecting a smooth drive.
As expected, the highway, especially the Coastal Highway, was in the perfect driving conditions with virtually no speed limits, however, it were the enroute stoppages, mostly on security check points, that caused the delay. Other stoppages were on account of refuelling (before entering onto the Coastal Highway), trye check, and sightseeing. I had to take care of fuel economy so seldomly drove beyond 100 km/hr. On our way back it took us 5 hours mainly becuase of relatively fewer security barricades.
