Day 19 - Bangalore

Summary:

Tour of Bangalore. Palace, Hindi temple, Silk shop, Science museum.

TFTD:

After dreadful day 18, were happy to have positive experiences.

Got last 2 seats on tour bus, lots of friendly Indians.

Palace was built by a prince who hated the British. He hated them so much that he has a mechanical toy made commemorating the gouging of "General Munroe". An unfortunate incident which occurred during his reign.

Museum was a lot of fun. In the astronaut exhibition area there was "Indian Space Food". Essentially freeze packed curry and rice. How can you possibly not make fun?

Found a restaurant which sold omelets. Went there for lunch and dinner. My body said THANKYOU.

Weighed ourselves at museum. I'm still 72 kilo down from 75. Was pleased as I feel like I've lost much more. Yumi was the same weight as before.

Indian cars make a noise like a bird cheeping when reversing.

The I30 is not for sale in India. They must be content with the I10 which apparently is "Ubercool".

Lots of Bars in Bangalore.Went into a couple. Sooo filthy, just like the one in Chennai.It's almost as if they try to make it dirty. Even Yumi declined having a beer (even straight out of a bottle) in there. Get the picture?

On waiting list for train tomorrow night. There are 5 bookings ahead of us. Ticket reservation office said we will "definitely" get a booth.
