Bangalore: Day 1

We left the Mumbai hotel at six in the morning, went to the domestic airport, and then drove for what seemed like an eternity until reaching our first touristy thing in this new city: a palace! The palace was extraordinary in a city outside of Bangalore called Mysore, where we’re staying for a few nights before heading into the center of Bangalore, which is compared to Silicon Valley in California.

We couldn’t take pictures inside the actual palace, but we could take some outside which was good enough!
 







The palace was beautiful and huge! Every part of the ceiling and floor and everything in between was so intricate and planned out and the colors were amazing. On the airplane ride in the morning, there was an article on the magazine about the palace and I was looking through it with some of the people I was sitting next to and when we actually got to see it in person later in the day, it was an amazing thing. Once we got to the hotel, we had a welcome dinner since it’s our first night in a new city and after that we walked around the hotel for a bit because this is the place where the king of the palace would let his guests stay! The hotel has a courtyard in the middle of all the rooms and each room had a balcony looking into it (or at least most do..) and it’s unbelievable that we’re staying in one of the old king’s properties!
