So I've arrived in Mysore. After a sleeper train (cheap seats but perfectly okay for one night)from Hospet (awful spot)listenening to a man cough (I was convinced he had TB) and a brief moment of loosing Tatia in Bangalore train station (we were in different cabins and the station has no discernable layout) and a 3 hour coach journey (Bollywood Movie and AC included). First impressions are that it seems lovely. Very pleasent, I have only been asked 12 times if I would like an rickshaw.
I have been to see how they make incense and silk today and also around a fruit market and am off to a fancy restaurant where they have live traditional Indian Music!!! I am going on a mad 12 hour tourist trip around Mysore, which will hopefully include all the sights and I'll get to see a tiger (in a zoo).
On Thursday I'm off on a mad 3 day journey up to Calcutta, I'm going to spend a night or two there before heading up to Darjeeling (so don't expect to here from me for a couple of days). I'm having fun again, so alls good. Obviously this might change after spending 38 hours on a train. After experiencing sleeper class I've pushed the boat out and gone 2nd class AC, so at least I should get to look out of the window.
Next stop Calcutta.
Also today I've seen a cat walking round with a kitten half sticking out of its fanny, just thought I'd share.

It's nice to hear that you're enjoying yourself again, I also like that the kitten comment was delivered with you usual elequaint use of the English language.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a way of putting things Vic! You should know better with your level of vocational education.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe you didn't help the cat! Makes being sprayed by one seem quite lame in comparison.
ReplyDeleteStill ahven't got a postcard!
Sophie remined us today that she loves skipping with Grandma & Auntie Vic. Bless.
