Arrived finally in Bangalore about 10 hours later than planned. Unfortunately our tickets were not issued on arrival at Heathrow for some reason so we ended up on Kingfisher airlines flight instead of BA! Apart from the lack of a/con it was fine and we had a nice curry on board + free Kingfisher beer!
Spent first and second nights at Royal Orchid Brindavan Gardens hotel in Mysore which was very nice -see posh hotel picture and Tania in bed! Got picked up by our driver in Mysore (hardly roughing it so far- beginning to feel like royalty or some Raj style posh person!)
Our next stop was Ooty (hill station) which we reached after very pleasant dive through the tea plantations but unfortunately hotel not quite the same standard as in Mysore, was freezing cold at 8000 feet -see crap hotel picture!
We are now in Kumily which is cool after visiting more tea and spice plantations and after being roasted again in Cochin. Looking forward to exploring the Kerala backwaters over the next few days. -Periyar national park tomorrow and Keralan house boat the day after. No tummy trouble yet!!! although a few strange rumbles and a lot of wind! Thought you would like the elephant photos! By the way the bloke in drag is not me but a Kathakali dancer!
Sorry about the crap editing of blog -I'm sure we will get the hang of it. I think the text is supposed to be beside each photo-never mind. Will blog again soon!!
