We went up market on the bus to Mysore - we caught a super deluxe Volvo bus at 3 times the standard price (£3:40 for a 4 hour journey). The trip was hair-raising initially - first through the mountains then a steep descent to the plain. The road was narrow with lots of pot holes and sharp bends - we were at the front so hung on for dear life. It also took us through the national park where we had the bonus of seeing elephants, deer and monkeys.
We arrived in Mysore and checked into our cheapie hotel - very different from Ooty. We spent the next few days exploring the city and it's environs - a fabulous palace, wonderful bazaar with beautiful flower sellers, 2 temples, 2 other palaces and an amazing bird sanctuary with pelicans, storks and many other birds - complete with crocodiles in the river. We took a boat ride on the river but kept our hands firmly in the boat!
