Travel with your own blender

Stopping for snacks can be a waste of sightseeing time. And not always worth the health risk or money. Particularly in scorching weather, a carton of yogurt or clean water plus some fresh local fruit can sort out thirst and refuelling needs with ease, especially if you are toting this neat device and its companionable twin sippers. The blades can even blend ice, if you can find a safe source (like your hotel). Nice happy colours too: berry purple and orange crush. (Rs 2,895, www.usha.com)
