Left the Jungle Retreat this morning for Mysore. Everyone is a bit quiet as we all had a pretty late night. The journey was much the same as usual (very bumpy). Lunch was arranged at The Green Hotel and spirits picked up when we reached here and everyone looked on it as ‘coming home’. It was actually quite sad saying good-bye for the last time but its off to catch the train for Bangalore.

Travelling by train is a totally different experience in India (I must make a mental note never to complain about British Rail again!). It may be more comfortable as opposed to travelling by bus but the people are jammed in like sardines, there are vendors selling everything you can think of from beverages to food this is one form of transport where you certainly won’t be hungry (as long as you have the money to purchase).

Our new accommodation for the next 4 nights is FMC (Frontier Management Centre) Bangalore, first impressions very good – I think I’m going to like it here!!!
