Another day, another 10 hour bus ride. The bus to Bangalore from Mysore was very cheap and efficient - and amazingly unlike most express buses didn't stop every few miles to pick up all and sundry. After a few problems with finding digs the pair got into the Citizen Lodge in Bangalore. Initial impressions of Bangalore was unfortunately the incredible pollution and aggressive rickshaw drivers! Still , the pair managed to get around a bit and sample the local hospitality - and the most expensive meal they'd encountered thus far.
