Hopping in a friends taxi to drop me off at the bus station that would drive me to the airport, was the ‘plan’.
The taxi didn’t know where the bus stop was, the tuk-tuk driver after that dropped me off somewhere quite randomly.
But I found an ‘airport taxi’ and got here 1.5 hours earlier than expected, for a very good taxi price of 400rs. He was hoping to pick up more passengers on the way but unfortunately that didn’t happen.
So here I am, 15:00 at the airport, and the flight that was supposed to leaveat 18:40 is delayed by 2 hours. So I have a nice 3 hours of time to kill before checkin =D
At least I’m well in time.
I had an awesome stay in Bangalore, very much unlike my previous big Indian city experiences.
The thing that stood out maybe the most was the amount of trees and green in Bangalore.
Today I also visited Cubbon Park and Lal Bagh (a botanical garden).
Those places were truly amazing, midst of the busy traffic and horning, some huge grass fields with massive trees and their boughs shadowing the pathways.
It was such a relaxing experience, to be amongst the green, the horns merely a vague whisper in the background.
Then my Ishanian friend took me to the greatest Masala Dosa place known to men kind.
Seriously, we all (the 4 of us by now) didn’t have breakfast or had a very small one, and were so hungry, we just kept the Dosa’s coming.
Another one, more tea, more dosa’s, more coffee. It was a huge feast.
The deliciousness of the dish seemed to only increase, and in the end the 4 of us were fully stuffed and our tongues were almost dissolved from the unbearable deliciousness of the tastes. We payed a grand total of 400 rupees… The equivalent of a 1 person bread + raw vegetables in Belgium, after which you’re potentially still kind of hungry.
Anyone in Bangalore, get to Malleshwaram, near 9th or 10th cross, and find the restaurant called Shri Sagar. Seriously.
