Feb 25, 2008 - Bye Bangalore, hello Mysore!

30 sharp which was just as well as I had an early train to catch the next day! The Mysore train was really grotty and I was the only westerner on board, there were 4 or 5 boys n the compartment who seemed more uncomfortable by my presence than I was by theirs - after about half and hour of stares a young woman from the next compartment came and introduced herself - she was called Agnes and she was traveling with a group of zoologist student, she asked if I was traveling alone, when I explained I was she was very shocked and concerned. ... Arrived in Mysore and found a decent hotel after checking around 5 in the commercial area, nice crisp white clean linen was the decider! I was fortunate to arrive in Mysore on a special day in the month, the only day the light up the palace, the palace without the lights is pretty spectacular, but lit up its incredible. ... Leave Mysore on Wednesday heading down to the backwaters of Kerala, and hopefully find a nice beach to pitch up for a while. ...
