Day 20 1 MAY
Did the walking tour today around a local fruit and veg market, quite interesting to see different things displayed on the floor mainly but all very colourful, some colourful characters too.
Then on to an art gallery in a former small palace. Quite run down but images of the British Raj illustrate how good the officers had things out here. Not so good for the ordinary soldiers in the sun and heat!
Then to the Maharajahs palace, absololutely huge and like a much enlarged version of the Royal Pavilion in Brighton. Positive first impression of Mysore generally intact.
Rushing this a bit as have to get overnight train in a few hours from here to Chennai (formerly Madras). Not looking forward to the crush on the station and the sleep on the train, then there's the toilets and other companions to contemplate. Nice!
Thanks for messages, I have tried responding to some but I have to set up a new account to do so through this website and I am reluctant to put personal information on a public computer so please forgive me for not replying individually. If you need a response please use this email address rather than my virgin one as I cant seem to use that properly.
All the best,
Chris
