Cities and beyond

After our last few days in the hills we hopped on a bus and headed north for the Mysore in the plains of Karnataka. The city had a surprisingly mellow vibe for such a large population as well as one of the most elaborate palaces we have seen anywhere in India. Ridiculously ornate carved teak ceilings, engraved silver doors, and more chandeliers than I have ever seen, absolutely stunning. From Mysore we moved on to Bangalore to gather up some new bike boxes and prepare for the next leg of the trip to Vietnam. Damn, five months in India coming to an end, not quite sure yet how I feel.
