More sightseeing...

I have a list of places, parks, museums, and shopping districts in Bangalore and before we leave in two weeks I would love to be able to see all of these things. This weekend we hired a car on Saturday and took tuktuks on Sunday to go see St. Mary's Church, Ulsoor Lake (one of the many lakes in Bangalore), Bugle Rock (a rock outcropping surrounded by gardens), the Aquaruim, and the kids train ride in Cubbon Park. The pictures of Kevin, myself and the boys were taken at the top of Bugle Rock. Bangalore is a very flat city which makes it possible for all 5 of us plus a driver to be taken around by a tuktuk with a small motorcycle engine. If there were any hills, a tuktuk would not make it to the top.  Bugle rock is not very high, probably only 100 metres, but it is one of the few places where land climbs above the flat city.

    1. Jodie, we have enjoyed more chai in the last week than in the whole month before that. It has been great! We have also enjoyed some Indian tea that is a black tea with cinnamon, cardamom and a lot of honey but has no milk. So yummy!
      Take care and see you soon!

  4. Good one. Anyone thinking that there are not many places to visit in Bangalore cannot be further from the truth as many visitors have found out while looking for Bangalore tourist places. Rightfully called the Garden City, verdant tracts of greenery count amongst some of the most desirable places to visit in Bangalore. Check out Bugle Park, a unique geographical formation, this is a massive rock located in south Bangalore.
